Brassica rapa subsp. narinosa
Tatsoi
Common names: Löffelsenf, Asia-Spinat
Category imageThis description was machine-translated.
Description
Tatsoi forms flat, star-shaped rosettes of dark‑green, spoon‑shaped leaves and is one of the hardiest Asian salads. Its mild, slightly mustard‑like flavor works well raw in salads or briefly sautéed, and its frost tolerance allows fresh greens even in late autumn.
Care instructions
Sow directly into the garden, preferably in late summer (August, week 33) for an autumn and winter harvest, as it bolts quickly in heat. Keep the soil consistently moist and harvest the outer leaves continuously; the rosette will regrow. It can also be protected under a fleece or in a cold greenhouse to survive light frosts.
