Mustard Dragon Tongue

The mild flavor of this variety is just what's needed to add a little zest to salads. The plant produces beautiful light green leaves, accented with purple veins, which feature a central rib that becomes increasingly thicker as the days go by. This part of the leaf is particularly delicious stir-fried, while the broad, blistered blade is served cooked like spinach or incorporated into exquisite soups. The plant takes a while to set seed, and leaves that have been exposed to frost are distinguished by a sweeter flavor.
