About Mustard cabbage

Mustard cabbage commonly refers to leafy mustard greens with broad, often crinkled leaves and thick, crisp stems. The leaves may be green or have purplish tones, and the flavour is pungent and peppery, becoming milder with cooking. Names and forms vary by region, so this draft refers to the leafy vegetable rather than a specific cultivar.

The leaves and stems are eaten cooked in dishes such as soups and stir-fries, or preserved in some regional cuisines. It is commonly sold fresh in bunches. Young leaves may be more tender, while older leaves and thicker stems can be firmer and may need longer cooking.
