* Japanese mustard Mizuna - a real exotic, is the least known among cabbages. It is grown mainly in Japan and on the Pacific coast of China.
In its biochemical composition, it is not much different from Beijing and Chinese cabbage. At the same time, it is Japanese cabbage that contains the least mustard oils, which give cabbage plants a specific taste and aroma.
This cabbage grows a little slower than Beijing and Chinese.
Since the leaves contain less mustard oil than Beijing and Chinese cabbage, Japanese cabbage is even more useful for cardiovascular diseases and stomach ulcers.
It is mainly eaten fresh for salads, sandwiches, and decoration of dishes.
