Vegetable

Osaka Purple

A tier

Osaka Purple is a Japanese mustard with wine-purple leaves, often somewhat smaller and more refined than Red Giant, with clean heat suited to pickles and quick woks. Popular in home gardens for ornamental edible beds. Cold enhances anthocyanin colour. Pickle Japanese-style, or wilt with sesame oil. Baby leaves lift mixed salads. Choose Osaka Purple for a slightly more delicate purple mustard profile.
