Technical details:
Botanical name: Brassica rapa subsp. narinosa
Seed quantity: 10 selected seeds, to ensure a good start to your cultivation.
Plant Type and Cultivation Cycle: Annual plant, with an exceptionally rapid growth cycle, ideal for continuous crops in succession.
Plant height: Develops a low, compact rosette, reaching about 15-20 cm in height and a diameter of 20-30 cm when fully mature.
Uses: Extremely versatile in the kitchen. The young leaves (baby leaves) are perfect for fresh, crisp salads. The mature leaves can be sautéed with garlic and ginger, added to soups, stews, or curries, or used as an elegant and nutritious side dish in Asian and Western dishes.
Tasting Notes: The leaves are thick, tender, and fleshy, a magnificent, glossy dark green. The flavor is delicate yet distinctive, with sweet notes and a slight spicy hint, often described as a cross between spinach and Pak Choy, but more refined and buttery.
Hardiness and Origin: Known for its exceptional cold hardiness, it can tolerate temperatures as low as -10°C if properly acclimated, making it ideal for autumn and winter cultivation in temperate climates. Native to East Asia (China and Japan), it is a classic of traditional cuisine.
Sowing and harvesting period: Sowing is recommended in late spring (March-May) and autumn (August-October) to avoid the summer heat that can cause premature flowering (bolting). Harvesting can begin as early as 20-30 days after sowing for baby leaves or within 40-50 days of sowing for full rosettes.
Optimal conditions for germination: Prefers soil temperatures between 10°C and 20°C for optimal and vigorous germination.
Soil Type: Requires fertile, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. A slightly acidic or neutral pH (6.0-7.0) is ideal for its growth.
Recommended location: Prefers partial shade, especially in warmer regions, to protect it from the intense summer sun. In cooler climates or during the cooler seasons, it can benefit from full sun exposure.
Germination time: Generally, seeds germinate within 7-14 days of planting, if environmental conditions are favorable and the soil is kept constantly moist.
Pot or open ground cultivation: Ideal for both open ground cultivation, creating borders or flowerbeds, and in containers or pots on balconies and terraces, thanks to its compact shape and small size.
Quality Specifications: Our organic Tatsoi cabbage garden seeds are Non-GMO (not genetically modified), carefully selected for varietal purity and certified for their high germination, ensuring a strong and healthy start to your garden.
