Kitazawa Seed Company Tatsoi Mustard Seeds

Tatsoi is a cold-hardy green, so it thrives best in the cooler temperatures of spring and fall. It is an excellent choice for gardeners looking to extend their growing season into the shoulder months.

Yes, Tatsoi is very well-suited for container gardening. Its compact, rounded growth habit makes it an ideal candidate for pots or window boxes, provided they have adequate drainage.

This means you can harvest individual outer leaves as needed for your meals, rather than pulling the entire plant at once. If you leave the central crown intact, the plant will continue to produce new leaves throughout the season.

Tatsoi has a mild, nutty, and slightly peppery flavor. It is less pungent than some other mustard greens, making it versatile enough to be eaten raw in salads or cooked in stir-fries.

You can expect to harvest your first full-sized leaves about 50 days after planting. However, because it is a cut-and-come-again crop, you can begin harvesting smaller, tender leaves much sooner.
