(Brassica rapa) Tatsoi deserves a place in everyone’s garden! A very mild mustard, it is one of our go-to salad mix ingredients and an excellent braising/sauté green. Low growing and beautiful 10” rosettes of dark green, spoon-shaped leaves grow vigorously anytime throughout the season and get very sweet after frost. Early for cutting and quite hardy. It's surprising how long it took us to offer tatsoi as we’ve grown and enjoyed it for over 15 years!
