You are unlikely to find red mizuna in the supermarket, but you can grow it all year round with your smart garden. We recommend harvesting after 30 days from germination.
The ideal temperature for growing is between 18 and 25°C.
Uses
You can use mizuna in different ways. You can add it to a salad (pay attention, the taste is very spicy so don’t exaggerate with quantity!). You can add it to a sandwich or you can cook it in a pan for a quick side dish. You can also make an excellent sauce for pasta.
In Japan it is marinated with salt and served as appetizer.
