Details
Red Frill mustard distinguishes itself through its radiant, deeply serrated oak leaf-shaped violet leaves contrasted by thin wasabi green stems. Its texture is crunchy yet tender and its flavor is robust and peppery. Red Frill mustard is known as one of the spiciest in the mustard green family. When left to mature, Red Frill produces edible flowers and eventually seeds. These seeds can be harvested, yet they are not the common seed used as dry mustard.
