Since the baby greens in the variety trial are big enough to distinguish, it's time to look at each of them in greater detail. Today's green: wasabina!
I ordered these seeds from Kitazawa Seed Co. Mainly because of the name, but also because I ordered everything described as 'cold tolerant.' The seed company describes wasabina as:
"This light green serrated leaf mustard brings a delicious, spicy, wasabi-like flavor to a salad mix of baby leaf greens. The large, tender mature leaves are ruffled with curly edges and are best cooked. Very cold tolerant."
So far, the leaves are serrated and have fine hairs on the edges and veins. The hairs aren't prickly like those found on old mizuna leaves. So wasabina would be ok to add in a salad mix. Right now they just taste like a mild mustard green and aren't spicy at all. Probably the spiciness will increase as the plants mature.
