Asia-Salat Wasabino

Season Overview

Description

Asia lettuces are a variety of leafy vegetables that originate from the Asian region. They can be resown every 14 days and harvested after only 3 weeks like cut lettuce. Asian lettuces often taste similar to arugula due to their high content of spicy mustard oils, but there are also mild ones like cabbage. The lettuce can be prepared raw as a salad or steamed in stir-fry. The seeds are sown broadly and then later thinned out. Medium growing Asian lettuce with finely notched, light green leaves. Relatively shoot-resistant variety. Strong, spicy wasabi aroma.

Growing tips

Asia lettuces are very easy to grow year-round and fit into the smallest balcony box. The optimal sowing time in the home garden is from March to September. On a covered balcony or in an unheated greenhouse, Asia lettuces can be grown year-round. In the open field, soil fleas can become a problem. Soil then always keep well moist and loosen. The fresh Asia lettuce leaves give every salad a delicious, spicy note, but also very suitable as a soup garnish, steamed or sautéed in a wok.
