Mizuna is a fast-growing leafy green commonly known as Japanese mustard greens. It has deeply serrated leaves, tender stems, and a mild peppery mustard-like taste that works well in salads, sandwiches, stir-fries, soups, and mixed greens. Mizuna is closely linked with East Asian cooking and has been cultivated in Japan for centuries, where its name is often understood as “water greens.”
