Then you have mustard greens. And oh boy, do they have personality. These bad boys have a peppery, spicy kick that practically yells, “Wake up!”
Are they friendly? No. Are they memorable? Absolutely. Mustard greens are the rebellious teenager of the leaf family. They’re not here to be subtle.
You know it’s a mustard green the second it hits your tongue. That sharp, sinus-clearing zing. It’s like horseradish decided to become a vegetable. Exaggerating? Only a little.
They also cook way faster than collards. Like, twenty minutes fast. Perfect for when you want a side dish that fights back. Just don’t overcook them, or they turn into bitter brown mush. Trust me on that.
