ABOUT
Green mustard microgreens are one of the most satisfying quick-grows in any grower's repertoire — tiny seeds that explode into a lush, vivid green canopy with almost no effort. Bite into a handful and you get that clean, building mustard warmth: not aggressive, but enough to wake up a grain bowl, a soft cheese sandwich, or a bowl of miso soup in an instant. The cotyledons are a fresh, grassy green with a tender, almost silky texture that wilts beautifully into warm dishes or holds its own raw. Right now is the perfect moment to sow a tray — you'll be harvesting in less than two weeks and wondering why you ever bought bagged salad leaves.
