What are Mustard Greens?
Mustard greens are the leaves of the Brassica juncea plant, a plant in the same genus as that which includes the plants which produce famously piquant seeds which are ground into mustard, a very popular condiment. Mustard greens possess the same zesty, peppery, striking flavor which people associate with mustard. They can be consumed both raw and cooked, depending on the cultivar, and they are usually available in the produce section of markets. You can also grow mustard greens at home if you want to create a steady supply of them; they will thrive in almost any climate as long as there is at least a month of reasonably nice weather.
