Their sharp, pungent flavor adds life to any meal, and the leaves of these resilient greens are filled with vitamins and minerals. Mustard greens show our deep connection with the Earth, reminding us that nature is filled with many gifts, including those of flavor and nutrition. They can also be a powerful reminder of our collective importance in tending the earth, as we cultivate greater respect and harmony.
