Specialty Greens

 

We regularly offer a wide assortment of absolutely delicious leafy greens. And they look great too! Your customers will love them fresh from our winter greenhouses; or from our summer gardens.

Hot Mizuna is the hottest garnish in Tokyo. Totally unlike common broad-leaf mizuna, this rare find is very deeply cut with a steadily building bite.

Bekana Mustard has a lovely pale green leaf with a light bite – perfect for shredding. It is also large enough for wrapping

 

Fordhook Mustard is one of the best looking and tasting mustards ever bred. It is wonderful raw on any fatty presentation. Briefly blanched it glistens gloriously.

 

 

Wasabi has ...

Cresses come in an assortment of shapes. But all have delightful quick kicks; which just as suddenly dissipate.

Peacock Kale boasts a deeply cut leaf in a unique creamy white. A great garnish!

Red Orach is a heritage form of spinach. It has a deep red colour with a pleasingly salty flavour.

Fava Bean Leaves have a fresh nutty fava flavour that can be enjoyed raw or quickly cooked. It is totally memorable when made into pasta.

Arugulas come in several great shapes. They all possess a trademark magnificent sharp nutty bite.

Red Russian Kale has eye-catching deeply cut leaves with sweet flavour. Serve either raw or very briefly cooked.

Rainbow of Chards have brilliant multi- coloured stems which really encourages diners to at least try their greens. The creamy rich sweet leaves (way better than spinach) keep them coming back for more.

 

Chervil is one of the finest fine herbes with its delicate licorice notes. Use it whole as a garnish; or chopped as flavouring.

Buckhorn Plantain surely has a unique appearance – and it is surprisingly tender with a gentle nutty flavour.

Chrysanthemum has gorgeous leaves with a bright aromatic flavour just calling out for a creative place in your presentations.

Dandeion is...

 

Chicory is...

 

Claytonia grows only during the winter months. So make generous use of its tart succulence during its all-too-short season.

 

Mache or Corn Salad is a delectable winter “weed” loved throughout Europe. Unfortunately it is a real challenge to grow in most of North America.
