Green River (F1) Asian Green Seed
Green River (F1) Asian Green Seed
New! Upright, refined komatsuna for bunching and baby leaf.
Slow-bolting plant with dark green leaves and long, narrow petioles. Very similar to Carlton, which it replaced. Leaves hold at the baby-leaf stage for a long harvest window. Komatsuna is similar to tatsoi, but has a denser, less juicy texture. Traditionally used in Japan either steamed and seasoned with soy sauce or in stir-fries and soups. It is also excellent braised or, at the baby-leaf stage, used in salads.Specs:
