Tuffboi Tatsoi
Behind the Leaf
Naturally nutritious with Vitamin C, Calcium and low in calories. Tuffboi Tatsoi, also known as Rosette Spinach Mustard, is one of the healthiest and tastiest vegetables in the Brassica family (this includes greens such as Bak Choy and Broccoli). Tuffboi Tatsoi's tight rosette shape grows low and dense, which is why it holds together in hot wok than looser-leafed greens.

Mild, mustardy, holds its crunch even after cooking. Mild, slightly sweet with a gentle mustardy undertone, less sharp than mature mustard greens, yet more interesting than plain spinach. Perfect for Chinese cuisines. Pairs well with:
- Aromatics: Ginger, garlic, sesame oil
- Umami: Soy sauce
- Heat: Chilli
- Rinse before consumption
- Holds structure well under high heat. Great for stir-fries, hot pot, miso soup
- Raw salads: Toss young leaves with citrus, sesame, or light vinaigrettes for a mild, peppery twist
- Stir‑fries and sautés: Use in place of spinach or bok choy; quick‑cook with garlic, soy, or oyster sauce for a tender, flavourful side
- Soups and noodle bowls: Add to miso, ramen, or rice soups just before serving for colour, texture, and nutrition
- Smoothies and grain bowls: Blend a handful into smoothies or fold into warm grain bowls for an easy nutrient boost without strong bitterness
