水菜 (Mizuna)

I hadn't heard of mizuna before receiving it this week in our farm share. If you're also unfamiliar with it, picture mild arugula. I used it as a salad green, but you can stir fry with it, add it to meat dishes, or pickle it. The produce guy at the Shaw's in Porter Square had never heard of it, so I don't know what it costs. It probably doesn't matter since the produce guy at a grocery store has never even heard of it. Too bad. It rocks.

Mizuna (or arugula) and roasted beets with ranch dressing. Recommended.
