Description

“Southern Giant” is an Old Florida Favorite because of its heat tolerance and Productivity. Mustard Greens have a spicy and peppery flavor. Young leaves are tender, more like a lettuce, but thicken up with maturity, and adopt a texture similar to Kale or Collards. We recommend eating the younger, tender leaves raw (in salads for example) and cooking the mature leaves like other greens. Mustard Greens are a superfood, especially high in Vitamins A, C, and K. 

Growing mustard is walking a fine balance between sustained extreme cold and extreme heat. Luckily the Winter and Spring Growing Seasons are known for being fairly mild, falling between these two poles.

Sow seeds no deeper than 1/4″. Germination 10-20 days.

Harvest leaves from the outside in towards the center.
