Fragile Mizuna plants

Mizuna is a small and fragile plant especially as sprouts. Therefore I recommend, that you rinse them with great care. This is because the plants will rot if they break during your culitivation. To prevent this you can put a Faucet Aerator on your tap. This will allow you to make the water jets very soft. See the Faucet Aerator >

Mizuna has a lovely taste of pepper and Mustard mixed together. This makes Mizuna a wonderful addition in both salad, sandwiches, wraps and dips. I personally do not find Mizuna suitable for smoothies but many use them for the popular Buddha bowls as the plants are very beautiful.
