Texel Greens

Brassica carinata  – approximately 300 seeds.

Sometimes known as Abyssinian mustard or Garlic kale. This delicious salad green has a lovely mild garlic flavour when eaten raw, like a combination of spinach and wild garlic. This is one of our favourites! You can also, harvest immature flower stems and cook them like broccoli.  Well suited to cut-&-come-again. Successional sow throughout the season to have a constant supply of these delicious leaves.

Alternative spelling: ‘Texsel’
