About Tatsoi
Tatsoi is an Asian leafy vegetable in the mustard family, grown for its dark green leaves and tender stalks. It is often sold as a compact rosette, though leaves may also be separated. It is distinct from other Asian greens despite sometimes being grouped with them in markets.
The leaves are spoon-shaped and tender, with a mild, slightly mustard-like flavour that can become more pronounced with age. Tatsoi is eaten raw in salads or cooked briefly by stir-frying, steaming, or adding to soups. Whole rosettes and loose leaves are common forms.
