ABOUT
Red Mustard Frilled is one of the most visually arresting microgreens you can grow, producing deeply fringed leaves in jewel-like shades of red-purple that deepen further the longer they stay under the light. Bite into a stem and you get an immediate aromatic mustard heat — sharp and clean, like Dijon with a floral edge — carried on leaves so fine and feathery they almost dissolve on the tongue. Scatter a handful over a poached egg, a beef tartare or a bowl of miso ramen and the dish is instantly transformed, adding colour, heat and texture all at once. With seeds that sprout in days and a harvest window under two weeks, there is every reason to start a tray right now.
