Mustard Greens (8 oz)

What are Mustard Greens?
According to On Food and Cooking by Harold McGee, mustard greens are related to the cabbage family, but are much more delicate in texture. They are pungent like mustard seeds, but become more mild after cooking. For this recipe, look for “Southern mustard greens” or “giant curled mustard greens”.

Are Mustard Greens Bitter?
Yes, mustard greens impart a bitter flavor when eaten raw, but even brief cooking will tame the bitterness. Braising them over a long period of time, like you will in this recipe, removes the bitterness entirely.
