Mustard greens are fast-growing leafy greens with a peppery bite, useful for salads, sandwiches, bowls, and quick sautés.
Mustard greens grow quickly indoors and bring a sharper, peppery flavor than mild lettuce. They are useful as baby leaves in salads or as larger leaves for bowls, sandwiches, and quick sautés.
Harvest outer leaves first so the plant can keep producing. Strong light helps mustard greens stay compact and flavorful instead of stretching toward the lamp.
Seeds germinate and compact seedlings begin forming.
Leaves thicken and the plant starts using more water and nutrients.
Harvest baby leaves or let the plant mature for larger cuts.
Remove older outside leaves to keep the center productive.
