Leaf life!

We’ve mentioned Mizuna and how good it is in a previous post. A close relative is Mibuna, with clusters of long, narrow leaves with a peppery, mild mustardy flavour. It is a highly nutritious Asian green. The long, slender, spear-shaped greens can be lightly cooked or added to salads, soups, and stir-fries.

Young green leafy vegetable plants are growing in rows in soil, with black plastic mulch covering the ground and holes where the plants emerge. These vibrant leaves may soon feature at a local farm café in Laurencekirk, known for fresh produce. — *Mibuna leaves; Sorrel*

At Farm to Table we now have the first wintery salad offerings. The Mizuna, Mibuna and red, green Lettuce along with some Lamb’s Lettuce, Purslane, Sorrel are ready and a range of interesting mustard leaves are yet to come and be added to our salad mix. We’ll go behind the scenes with those other leaves in our tunnels soon, but for now, our interesting wintery salads are off and running with more to come.

A plastic bag of mixed leafy greens from a local produce farm shop sits on a wooden surface next to a white bowl filled with a similar mix of fresh salad leaves. — *Freshly picked mixed salad bags available at Farm To Table*

A white bowl filled with fresh mixed leaves sits on a wooden table. Behind it, a clear plastic bag of leaves and a metal pot with leafy greens evoke the freshness of local produce from a farm shop in Aberdeenshire. — *Freshly picked mixed salad bags available at Farm To Table*
