Brassica rapa var nipposinica
This unusual Japanese green requires very little preparation. It grows much like mizuna but with rounded leaves. Plants grow to about one foot tall and produce tight clusters of long, narrow, rounded dark green leaves with white stems. Enjoy its light mustard flavor in a salad or as a side dish, lightly cooked and seasoned. The leaves are also excellent for pickling. Try picking fresh, chopping into a pot of rice just before it is finished cooking. Slow to bolt. 200 seeds

(Japanese mustard) Traditional Japanese green dating back to the Edo period. Lance-shaped leaves, produced in abundance, have a mild mustard flavour and are delicious in mixed salads and in stir fries and soups. Mibuna is regarded as a cold-season vegetable but is also heat-tolerant and doesn’t bolt during the warm season. Quick crop: matures in 40 days, but baby leaves can be harvested in as few as 20 days. https://www.richters.com/Web_store/web_store.cgi?product=X8501&show=&prodclass=Vegetable_Seeds&cart_id=2577263.6554
