Tatsoi

Tatsoi (Brassica narinosa or Brassica rapa var. rosularis) is an Asian variety of Brassica rapa grown for greens. Tatsoi has dark green spoon-shaped leaves which form a thick rosette, the texture is a soft creamy and has a subtle yet distinctive flavour - a pleasant and sweet aroma flavor tlike a mild mustard flavor, similar to pak choi. Tatsoi is generally eaten raw, but may be added to soups at the end of the cooking period. It's a great source for Vitamins A, C, & K, potassium and calcium, beta-carotene, phosphorous, and iron.

Tatsoi is already very popular in North American cuisine, and is now steadily gaining interest in the UK. In March 2014, Tatsoi was named the winner of the UK Grower Awards in the Best New Variety: Edible Crops.

OTHER NAMES

Also known as Spinach mustard, spoon mustard, or rosette bok choy.

Cooking Methods

Tatsoi should be stored in cold refrigeration, and isolated in the crisper drawer with other cold-storage vegetables. Tatsoi has a short shelf-life and will only last a few days. Store in plastic bag and wait to wash until eating or cooking.

Tatsoi can be eaten raw or cooked and makes a great substitute for spinach, lettuce, or any greens for a salad. When cooking tatsoi, its best to steam or stir-fry with other vegetables or main dish.
