Oriental Salad - Strange but good - L'Ortolano

Mixture of oriental brassicas with a very pleasant flavor that bring great benefits to the body. They can be used both in salads (picking the younger leaves) or in soups (using more mature leaves).
Sowing in open ground: From February to July Before sowing, work the soil thoroughly by breaking it up and levelling it. Remove any weeds. Sow by broadcast in the open field, burying lightly.
Thinning: 20 days after sowing When the seedlings emerge, thin out slightly in places where they are too dense. Harvest: 30-40 days after sowing
The young leaves can be cut and used like those of cutting salads; if left to ripen, they are used for minestrone and soups.
The particular taste of these brassicas and their high content of vitamins A and C make them a highly healthy food.
