Introducing Our New Plants, Mibuna & Plain Parsley!

We’re delighted to have added 2 new plants to our collection - Plain Parsley and Mibuna!

Here’s a quick overview of these must-have plants:

Mibuna

Originally cultivated in ancient Japan and admired for its beautiful, slender leaves. Mibuna’s gentle mustardy flavour lends itself perfectly to a variety of dishes and is bound to thrill your guests. It grows impressively quickly.

Mibuna v Mizuna

Mibuna is sometimes confused with Mizuna, a similar leafy vegetable originating in Japan. Mizuna’s leaves appear somewhat jagged, whereas Mibuna’s leaves are more spear-shaped. While Mibuna has a  mustardy flavour, Mizuna is known for its piquant, slightly peppery flavour.

Health benefits

In addition to its delicious flavour and versatility, Mibuna is great source of antioxidants. It also contains vitamins K, A, C, and E, as well as Copper, Manganese, and Calcium.

How to use it

Add some fresh leaves to a hearty winter soup or mix with a stir-fry. Best of all, enjoy mibuna in baby leaf salad mixtures where its flavour can really stand out.
