Now, about the flavor. Mustard spinach is a very apropos name. It has the rich, dark, green flavor of spinach with the zest of mustard. Stems are juicy and crunchy, and leaves are generally tender with a few strings. Works great in salads and stir fries. Some folks put it in bowls and pour hot broth over, so it cooks itself. However, I love it in eggs foo young! Saute onion, greens, celery, maybe sprouts. Add this to beaten eggs along with cooked and chopped shrimp or meat, and pour into a small pan to make a nice thick-ish omelet. Serve with soy and sriracha. So good!
I will test it in the warmer weather, but it's performance in the fall and winter has already made it a winner.
