Full Description

Indian Giant Red mustard is a striking leafy green with large, deep red to burgundy leaves and a mild, peppery flavor. It grows quickly and is ideal for salads, stir-fries, or pickling. The bold colour adds visual appeal to any garden or meal, and it thrives as a “cut-and-come-again” crop for continuous harvests.

Full Growing Information from Seed:

  • Sow seeds directly outdoors in fertile, well-drained soil.
  • Seeds can be started indoors 3–4 weeks before last frost and transplanted carefully.
  • Sow seeds shallowly, about 0.5–1 cm deep, and keep soil consistently moist.
  • Germination occurs in 5–10 days.
  • Thin seedlings to 20–30 cm apart to allow large leaves to develop.
  • Provide regular watering and optional mulch to retain soil moisture.
  • Harvest outer leaves as needed or cut the entire plant when mature (30–50 days from sowing).
  • Protect young plants from pests such as slugs and aphids.

 

Stratification: Not required

Medicinal Properties:

Indian Giant Red mustard is primarily grown for culinary use, rich in vitamins A, C, and K, and minerals. While mustard greens have been traditionally used for digestive and anti-inflammatory benefits, this variety is mainly cultivated for fresh greens rather than medicinal use.
