for Brassica juncea var. japonica.

I grow mizuna 9 months of the year in all but the coldest months.  It grows very similar to other greens, but can tolerate some cold weather.  In milder climates you can winter over the mizuna.  I use it raw in salads and other recipes that call for greens.  However, my favorite way to use this green is to mix it with eggs and cook it.  I don't cook the greens first, rather I just beat the greens into the raw eggs before cooking.

This is a great way to get your vitamins and enjoy a morning salad.  Try using mizuna in almost any recipe that calls for greens.  I am sure you will love it as much as I do.
