About Chijimisai

(Brassica rapa). A runaway winner of the Baker Creek tasting and growing trials, this stunning superfood contains a high amount of vitamin A! It is also a great source of minerals and protein. A cross between two of the most delicious and hardy greens — tatsoi and komatsuna — the lightly savoyed leaves of Chijimisai have a velvety texture and lightly umami flavor that make it a remarkable spinach substitute. This innovative “new” heirloom Asian green is both heat and cold tolerant, making it suitable to grow year round in most growing zones, save for the extreme seasons of some climates. This quick and easy-to-grow green is phenomenally tasty and more versatile than other greens. It is equally happy in stir fries and soups as it is in salads, lasagna, or atop pizzas. Sure to be the next culinary craze and must-have market gardeners’ green, no patch of greens should be without Chijimisai!
