Leaf mustard is a classic cool-season brassica vegetable with stable germination rate and strong cold resistance. It requires full sunlight and loose, fertile, well-drained soil, best sown in autumn and early spring.
The leaves carry a unique slight spicy taste, widely consumed by stir-frying, boiling in soup or pickling into preserved mustard. Staggered sowing allows successive picking throughout the cool growing period. This crop has great adaptability, tolerates slight frost and suffers few diseases and pests, ideal for family vegetable plots, raised beds and large balcony container cultivation.
