Mizuna dus; The taste of mizuna has been described as a "piquant, mild peppery flavor...slightly spicy, but less so than arugula."[1] It is also used in stir-frys, soups, and nabemono. A seller of packaged seeds in the United Kingdom describes mizuna as: A vigorous grower producing numerous stalks bearing dark green, deeply cut and fringed leaves. They have a fresh, crisp taste and can be used on their own or cooked with meat. The Japanese are fond of them pickled. Highly resistant to cold and grown extensively during the winter months in Japan.[3]
