Red Tatsoi is a vibrant twist on the traditional green tatsoi, featuring deep red to purple spoon-shaped leaves with a mild, mustardy flavor. This beautiful Asian green forms a compact, low-growing rosette and is ideal for salads, stir-fries, soups, or garnishes. Both tender and nutritious, it’s high in vitamins A, C, and calcium.
