Tatsoi Greens

Tatsoi Greens are an Asian-style mustard with great flavor and high productivity. Tatsoi produces small leaves that are about the size of a spoon, similar to spinach. Leaves are dark green with tender, edible stems. It has a mild-mustard flavor that is a great addition to soups or stir-fries. It it also excellent when eaten raw in a salad much like spinach. Tatsoi Greens produce plants similar to pak choi or boy choi. Plants are stocky with a high density of greens per plant. During cooler months, plants will grow flatter to the ground to protect themselves from freezing temperatures. In warmer months, plants will grow upward florets much similar to other asian greens. When grown densely, Tatsoi is a multiple harvest crop that will continue to produce leaves after multiple cuttings. For early spring plantings, be sure to plant after the last frost date to prevent premature bolting once temperatures warm.
