Asia-Salatmischung "Oriental Mix"

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 just 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 in broadcasted form and then later thinned out. Oriental Mix is a salad mix of various Asian varieties: Pak Choi, Rouge metis, Mizuna, Green in the snow, Red Giant, Tatsoi and others - an enrichment for the kitchen in the cool season. The mix is frost hardy and can be sprouted. It is possible to cut it several times.

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.
