Hagar-- I like the idea of mustard greens and fat-- I'm not afraid of that. Never had mustard greens, and of course have never seen the seeds at the garden store. Maybe online I can find some. I eat plenty of fats, of all kinds as long as it is natural and but without a potato, or other hgh starch food. I'm not convinced the fats are bad as we have been eating them for thousands of years. IT is the refined flours, the new corns, the processed foods that are killing us. My health has improved noticably since dropping those foods. So I'm happy to try the mustard greens. Darn I was at a store today that might have them . . . well, next time I'll be sure to buy a bunch . ANd if I don't like it . . toss it to the birds.
Around here the mustard seed are usually near the turnip seed. They look very similar. They have them in packets from companies like Burpees and seed stores have them in bulk. They are tasty. They aren't bad just picked and eaten raw. They are a cool season vegetable like turnips. Since the summers are hot here we plant them in September andin February. I have some of both growing side by side in the garden. A pot of turnip greens with mustard greens mixedand turnip roots is mandantory at our house at Thanksgiving.
