Mustard Greens

Mustard Greens
(Mustard Greens) The mustard greens in this full-sized photo are approximately two-thirds actual size.  Mustard greens have a distinctive, strong, bold taste.  Because of this strong taste, we prefer cooking them with other greens to get a variety of flavors.  Choose mustard greens that are crisp (not wilting) and that do not have brown tips on the leaves.  See the nutritional chart below for raw and cooked mustard greens.

Vegan FlagThe above recipe is in keeping with God's creation intent (Genesis 1:29-31): 'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV) Let no animal suffer or die that we may live!
