Here's a new crop we're growing this spring. Shungiku is an Asian Chrysanthemum grown for its delicious edible leaves (and flowers). They have a crisp succulent texture and the flavor is mildly tangy, with a nice floral note.
While we haven't harvested any full size Shungiku yet, so far we're impressed with the great germination and fast growth we've seen. We are really excited to add this crop to our cool season greens rotation, as it is not closely related to any of our other salad crops (especially since we grow so many brassicas). It will also add a new face to our spring vegetable display.
