Description

Mustard 'Red Giant' is lovely as a baby leaf, raw or cooked in stir fries and soups. This is the spiciest of the mustard leaves and tastes of horseradish.

Sow these little and often and use them in a baby leaf salad, or full size in stir fries. I love a winter salad made up of these mixed with milder lettuce, topped with a crispy skinned and succulent duck breast. They look and taste fantastic and will grow outside through the winter, even under snow.

Please note, illustrated packets are being introduced gradually over the coming months, availability may vary.

Care Tips

Keep moist. Protect from flea beetle with a physical barrier of fleece.
