Description

Brassica rapa var. nipposinica (Asia Salad) Mizuna BIO – Fast-growing Asian salad vegetable for the garden

Brassica rapa var. nipposinica, better known as Mizuna BIO, is a versatile, fast-growing Asian vegetable from the cabbage family, perfect for those who love healthy, flavorful, and colorful salads or stir-fries. With its fresh green, finely serrated leaves, Mizuna not only adds a mild, slightly spicy flavor but also a decorative touch to your garden and plate. This organic variety is ideal for both home gardeners and professional growers who value organic cultivation and sustainable farming practices.

Features of Mizuna BIO

Mizuna BIO forms rosettes of leaves that resemble lettuce. The leaves are delicate, fresh green, and slightly serrated, giving them a soft texture and an attractive shape. This Asian salad vegetable is exceptionally quick to harvest: the first leaves can be harvested just four weeks after sowing. Thanks to its multiple harvesting capability, Mizuna can be picked continuously, ensuring fresh leaves are available throughout the growing season.

Mizuna BIO has a mild flavor, with a slight spiciness that pairs well with other lettuces or leafy greens in mixed salads. The larger, firmer leaves are excellent for stir-fries, steaming, or sautéing, while the younger leaves are ideal for raw use in salads. This versatility makes Mizuna BIO an indispensable vegetable for anyone who enjoys experimenting in the kitchen with fresh, healthy ingredients.

Growing instructions for optimal growth

Mizuna BIO is easy to grow and suitable for both direct sowing in open ground and pre-sowing in a cold frame. Pre-sowing can begin in February at a temperature of 15–20°C. Direct sowing in rows is possible from late March to early September. Ensure a spacing of 10–15 cm between the rows to give the plants sufficient room to grow.

The optimal germination temperature of 15–20°C promotes rapid and even germination. Harvesting can typically begin approximately four weeks after sowing and can be done continuously, provided the rosettes are protected. This short development time makes Mizuna BIO ideal for multiple harvest cycles within a single growing season.

Benefits of Mizuna BIO in your garden

  • Fast harvest: first leaves after about four weeks.

  • Multiple harvest options: pick regularly to ensure a continuous supply of fresh leaves.

  • Versatile use: suitable for salads, stir-fries and steaming.

  • Organic cultivation: completely organic, without synthetic pesticides.

  • Decorative foliage: finely incised rosettes give a beautiful appearance in the garden.

Tips for use in the kitchen

Young Mizuna leaves are delicious in mixed salads, for example, combined with arugula, lamb's lettuce, or spinach. The slightly older leaves are firmer and lend themselves perfectly to stir-fries, steamed dishes, or as part of Asian recipes such as soups and noodle dishes. Mizuna Organic retains its flavor and texture well after a short cooking time, making it a healthy and versatile addition to any dish.

Conclusion

Brassica rapa var. nipposinica (Asia Salad) Mizuna BIO is a fast-growing, easy-to-grow Asian vegetable with versatile culinary uses. With its delicate, slightly spicy flavor and decorative, green, serrated leaves, this organic variety offers both visual and culinary delight. Perfect for gardeners seeking a high-quality, sustainable, and flavorful vegetable that can be harvested all season long.
