French: feuille de moutarde

Mizuna and mibuna are very popular Japanese leafy vegetables with the scientific name, Brassica rapa var. nipposinica or var. japonica. Mizuna grows as a giant rosette of finely dissected, feathery leaves, which are dark, glossy green. This rosette can grow to 23 cm high and can spread to 45 cm. Mibuna is thought to be closely related to mizuna except that its leaves tend to be longer and narrower having rounded tips.

The flavor is mild and sweet for fresh winter salads, with a mild mustard taste.
