Umuthi Tatsoi Growing Seeds produce compact rosettes of spoon-shaped, dark green leaves with a mild, nutty flavour and gentle mustard note. This fast-growing cool-season green is tender enough for baby leaf salads and sturdy enough for stir-fries, soups, sautés, noodle bowls, and dumpling fillings. Tatsoi grows well in full sun to partial shade with rich, well-draining soil and consistent moisture. Its compact habit makes it especially useful for small gardens, raised beds, and containers.

♡ Why we love it: Tatsoi is quick, glossy, and versatile. It gives growers baby greens or full rosettes from the same crop, making it a smart choice for fresh salads and warm weeknight dishes.
