Chinese Amaranth Passion ~ each fresh green leaf is liberally doused with a rich plum red. Use as an edible edge to a bed or as a cut-and-come-again salad crop, start picking when they reach 10cm tall. When larger the leaves can be steamed, stir-fried or added to soup (100 seeds)
Chinese Cabbage Yuki F1 ~ Yuki by name but certainly not be nature…a gorgeous variety for tasty summer and autumn crops: use in salads, steam lightly or put in a stir fry. (20 seeds)
Komatsuna Kimono F1 ~ super dark green leaves are held upright: makes picking easy. You can use younger leaves in your salads; braise, steam or shred and stir-fry mature leaves. This Komatsuna can be substituted for spinach in recipes. (40 seeds)
Mibuna ~ enjoy this lovely, lightly spicy flavoured, Japanese green that will grow almost all year round. For salad use whole young leaves or shred larger leaves. You can lightly cook Mibuna by steaming or adding to a stir fry. It is an ideal choice to serve with fish and rice dishes. (50 seeds)
Mustard Leaf Osaka Purple ~ for lovely flavour and colour in salads look no further than Osaka Purple. The tasty broad leaves can be harvested on their own or with the stems. As a bonus a later sowing will turn darker red in colder weather. (50 seeds)
Pak Choi Summer Breeze ~ a yummy heat tolerant type to give you full size Pak Choi through the summer months… if you can’t wait you can cut when 10cm tall for salad leaves (50 seeds)
