It has the most slender, serrated leaves of other mizuna varieties. They make beautiful micro greens for salads, and add a fresh taste when added to soups and stews. They are hearty, and will continue to grow back after multiple cuttings through the season. Also known as Japanese mustard, Potherb Mustard, California Peppergrass and kyona.
