Between them, they’ll keep you well-fed into autumn and beyond – great for salads, stir-fries, soups, and more. This collection contains one packet each of...

Minutina – succulent, crunchy leaves with a sweet, nutty taste somewhere between kale and parsley. Flowers and buds are tasty too.  Try making a minutina jelly to serve with cheese and poultry. (100 seeds)
Mizuna Kyoto – mild sweet flavour with a slight pepper tang.  Pick young for salads or let it grow on and use the bigger leaves in stir-fries, soups, or steamed (100 seeds)
Mustard Red Frills – the deeply cut leaves are frond-like and give your meals a boost of colour, flavour and visual impact  (50 seeds)
