KOMATSUNA

Komatsuna, also known as Japanese mustard spinach, has a mild, sweet, and slightly mustard-like flavour.

​It can be eaten raw in salads, boiled, or stir-fried, and is a great alternative to spinach or pak choi.

Cooking it with oils or fats enhances the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A and K).

How to store your komatsuna

Storage: Wrap komatsuna in a damp paper towel and place it in a perforated plastic bag in the fridge. It stays fresh for up to a week.​

Drying: Komatsuna isn’t typically dried for use, but you can air-dry thinly sliced leaves for powdering as a soup additive.

Freezing: Blanch komatsuna leaves for 1–2 minutes, then plunge into ice water. Drain, pat dry, and freeze in airtight containers for use in stir-fries or soups.
