For salad lovers, growing some punchy leaves as well as lettuces is an absolute must. Here are three of the tastiest…
Mizuna
We’ve got red mizuna or green mizuna plug plants for you to grow (or both!) – it has a spicy flavour, not quite mustardy but not quite peppery. Somewhere in between, perhaps. But it is delicious and a really welcome addition to leafy salads.
Frills Mustard
This one is a real winner – the delicate wispy leaves can be sprinkled into salads to add a punchy mustard flavour that isn’t too overpowering, and the deep red adds colour too. If you keep cutting it regularly it’ll carry on for months.
Wild Rocket
So punchy! Mix a few of these leaves into any salad for a little extra flavour. It can be a little overpowering on its own, but if you have a taste for it it is delicious!
