Organic Tatsoi Seeds - Brassica rapa
Organic, Non-GMO, Open-Pollinated Tatsoi Seeds
Asian leafy green vegetable tatsoi has gained popularity for its mild, mustard-like flavor and impressive nutritional benefits. Known for its compact rosette of dark green, spoon-shaped leaves, this versatile green is enjoyed both raw and cooked—in salads, stir-fries, soups, and a wide range of dishes. Tatsoi is appreciated not only for its delicate taste, but also for its tender, crisp texture and adaptability in the kitchen. A wonderful addition to any garden, and best of all, it is heat tolerant!
We find tatsoi to be a fast-growing and reliable crop, well-suited for both spring and fall planting, with the added bonus of performing better in warmer conditions than many other Asian greens. Sow seeds directly in the garden or start indoors for transplanting, spacing plants to allow for full rosette development. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers rich, well-draining soil with consistent moisture to support tender leaf growth.
Harvest can begin early by cutting outer leaves for baby greens, or allow plants to mature into full rosettes for larger harvests. Regular harvesting encourages continued growth, making tatsoi an excellent choice for succession planting and extended harvests.
