Description

Red Giant Mustard is a bold, open-pollinated variety known for its large, deeply textured leaves and striking reddish-purple color. This vigorous green produces broad, slightly savoyed leaves with a strong, spicy mustard flavor that intensifies as the plant matures.

Ideal for adding heat and color to salads, stir-fries, and sautés, Red Giant can be harvested young for a milder taste or allowed to grow larger for a more robust bite. Its dramatic foliage also makes it an attractive addition to edible landscapes and garden beds.
