Mizuna, also known as Japanese mustard or green mustard, is a leafy green vegetable that belongs to the Brassicaceae family (like broccoli, cauliflower, and kale). This versatile vegetable, native to Asia, has gained popularity in recent years due to its unique, slightly spicy flavor and potential health benefits.

Mizuna is a good source of vitamins C and K, and contains some potassium and beta-carotene (a precursor to vitamin A). It has antioxidant properties and its nutrients can contribute to a healthy immune system. Research is underway to explore other potential health benefits, such as its impact on digestion and cancer prevention.
