Tips:

• Florida Broadleaf Mustard Greens are a cool-weather crop, and can tolerate light frost.
• To prevent bolting (the plant flowering and going to seed prematurely), plant mustard greens in the spring or fall, when the weather is cooler.
• Mustard greens are susceptible to a number of pests and diseases, such as aphids, flea beetles, and clubroot. Keep the plants healthy and vigorous by watering them regularly and fertilizing them regularly.
• Mustard greens can be eaten raw, cooked, or pickled. They are a good source of vitamins A, C, and K, as well as calcium and iron.

Harvesting:

Florida Broadleaf Mustard Greens can be harvested as soon as the leaves are large enough to eat. To harvest, simply cut the leaves off at the base of the plant. You can harvest the entire plant at once, or you can harvest individual leaves as needed.

Storage:

Florida Broadleaf Mustard Greens can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. To store, wash the leaves thoroughly and dry them well. Wrap the leaves in a damp paper towel and place them in a plastic bag.
