Seeds of Scotland
Texel Greens *NEW 2024/25*
Brassica carinata - approximately 300 seeds.
Sometimes known as Abyssinian mustard or Garlic kale. This delicious salad green has a lovely mild garlic flavour when eaten raw, like a combination of spinach and wild garlic. This is one of our favourites! You can also, harvest immature flower stems and cook them like broccoli. Well suited to cut-&-come-again. Successional sow throughout the season to have a constant supply of these delicious leaves.
Alternative spelling: 'Texsel'

Texel Greens are hardy and August/September sowings can be transplanted undercover to provide a crop throughout the winter.
