Florida Broadleaf Mustard – 100 Seeds

Florida Broadleaf Mustard (Brassica juncea) is an old favorite mustard prized for its large, fleshy, dark green leaves and mildly pungent flavor. Plants are 12-18 inches tall with an 8-12 inch leaf spread.  Leaves may be harvested early as baby leaf mustard or allowed to reach full size for a larger harvest.

Florida Broadleaf Mustard Culinary Uses

It is a “cut and come again” type crop that may be harvested many times throughout the spring or autumn growing season.

• When harvested small, these mustard greens may be used to add a bite to your favorite salad.
• The larger leaves are great when boiled or sauteed with bacon grease, hog jowl or ham hock.
