“Nine Headed Bird” Cunning Greens

The name in Chinese is ‘Jiu Tou Niao’, which means “Nine Headed Bird”. It is an old heirloom variety of mustard leaf from South China, with green serrated leaves, & is prized locally for the texture and flavour of the greens. 

We were recently sent more detail by Dr Grabowska-Zhang (see the feedback box below) This is a good mustard green and we hope you enjoy growing it.

Hot and spicy raw, tasty and mild cooked. There are many local varieties of this sort of green yet to be discovered in the West.
