Description

Venda Mustard (Brassica spp.) is also known as M’shai or Mutshaina. This is a heirloom large leaf mustard, similar to Florida broadleaf mustard, that is grown by the Venda people for generations. It is known for its strong flavor and meaty texture. It can be grown as a Summer or winter crop. The leaves tend to be larger in winter. This plant will hybridize with other Brassica, so plant it away from cabbage and other mustard varieties, if you want to save the seeds of this mustard plant. Can be eaten boiled with feta, or pan fried with tomato and onion and used as relish/side dish.

Growing Venda Mustard

Mustard Seeds can be sown in the early spring for a summer crop and in mid-summer for a autumn-winter crop.
In the spring, plant as soon as the ground can be worked.
Rows should be 18 inches apart.
When seedlings are 2 inches high, thin, leaving 12 inches between plants.
Can be successfully grown in containers as well.
