    ABOUT

    Red Frilled is a leaf mustard of the same species that gives brown mustard seed. Grown as a microgreen it forms a tray of slender red stems and, towards the end, finely cut, lacy leaves in purple and red. It is one of the prettiest microgreens for plating.

    The taste is pure mustard: a quick, aromatic heat that hits the nose and then disappears. It is hotter than broccoli or cabbage and milder than wasabi, which makes it a good way to add flavour to mild dishes without extra seasoning.

    The colour depends on light. In strong light the leaves turn deep purple-red; in a dim spot they stay greener. If you want the frilly leaves, wait a few extra days for the first true leaves to unfold.

    IN THE KITCHEN

    Use red frilled mustard sparingly at first: on eggs, burgers and sandwiches, with cheese and cold meats, on potato salad, or mixed into a bowl of milder microgreens. It pairs well with fish and with anything rich or creamy. Add it at the end, as heat makes it wilt quickly. Keep it dry in a closed box in the fridge and use within about a week.

    GROWING INSTRUCTIONS
    1 Fill a 25 × 50 cm tray with 3–4 cm of moist potting soil or coco coir and press the surface level.
    2 Scatter 35 g of dry seed (30–35 g) as evenly as you can. No soaking is needed. Mist the surface lightly.
    3 Cover the tray with a second tray or a lid with a light weight on top and keep it in the dark at 18–22 °C for 2–3 days.
    4 When the seedlings start to lift the cover, move the tray under a grow light or to a bright window. Strong light gives the deepest red. Water from below once or twice a day and give the tray some airflow to prevent mould.
    5 Harvest 8–12 days after sowing: earlier for tender seed leaves, later for the frilly true leaves. Stop watering about 12 hours before and cut just above the soil.
