The pungent and peppery leaves of the mustard plant are tender, ruffled, and uniformly green. You'll also find smoother leaves that are dark purple on one side and green on the other.
How to Buy
Look for brightly colored, tender leaves with no brown or yellow spots.
How to Store
Mustard greens will keep for a few days in the fridge if sealed in a plastic bag.
How to Use
TRY IN: Vegetable soup or a sauté, where combining mustard with other greens will soften that peppery kick.
Health Matters
Nutrient-rich mustard greens may promote eye health and the body's ability to detoxify.
