Mustard Greens

Description
Mustard Greens, which probably originated in Central Asia, are a varied group of spicy Brassicas, harvested for both the young and mature leaves. As with other greens, the mustard greens contain vitamins A and C, folic acid, and minerals such as calcium and iron.

Preparation
Mustard Greens' small leaves have big flavor, and can be used, uncooked, as spicy additions to a salad. The flavor of raw mustard greens can be softened with other, milder greens or sweet dressings. When cooking, add these greens near the end of soups or stir-fry to keep their flavor, nutrients and texture.
