Number of seeds

Native to Asia, Tatsoi cabbage unfurls its leaves in a star-shaped rosette, a deep, glossy green, reminiscent of a delicate little bouquet. Prized for its cold hardiness and mild, slightly nutty flavor, it is perfectly suited to organic vegetable gardens in temperate climates.

In the garden, this variety stands out for its rapid growth and ease of cultivation. Its tender, crisp foliage lends itself to a multitude of culinary uses, while its hardiness makes it an excellent companion for extending the harvest season when the first frosts approach.

The Tatsoi also contributes its generosity to local biodiversity, serving as a refuge and food source for certain beneficial insects, thus naturally integrating into the cycle of the living garden.

  • Growing climate: Temperate and cold climate
  • Sowing difficulty level: Easy
  • Care required: Occasional

Note: Good tolerance to cold and light frosts.

Tatsoi cabbage can be eaten raw in salads, cooked in soups, stir-fried, or added at the last minute to Asian stir-fries. Its leaves can also be steeped to make a delicate herbal tea. It keeps fresh for a few days in the refrigerator or can be blanched and then frozen for longer use.
