Mustard Greens?!?!?

Mustard greens are related to kale, cabbage, and collard greens. They are the peppery leafy greens of the mustard plant. They are often less bitter than kale or collard greens, and more peppery, like arugula.


The easiest way to prepare mustard greens is to saute.

  • saute some thinly sliced onions in olive oil until they begin to brown and caramelize (maybe 5-10 min). Then toss in a couple of cloves of minced garlic

  • Throw in your mustard greens, washed and torn into large pieces, and cook until the greens begin to wilt.

  • Toss with some sesame oil or lemon juice and salt/pepper to taste.

Get creative and substitute mustard greens for spinach. How about fettuccine with mustard greens?

  • Saute as shown above, but maybe use mushrooms instead of onions.

  • Toss into cooked fettuccine with some butter, parsely, and grated parmesan cheese

Mustard Greens have lots of health promoting factors. They provide good to excellent amounts of 9 vitamins, 7 minerals, dietary fiber and protein.
