Mustard Greens bring a vibrant, peppery kick to any dish, with their large, frilled leaves showcasing various shades of green. The leaves are a mix of textures from smooth to crinkled, adding not just flavor but also visual appeal to dishes. Mustard Greens can put a fresh twist on classic greens and offer a pungent, spicy nuance that mellows somewhat when cooked. These greens work beautifully in stir-fries, as a steamed side dish with a sprinkle of lemon or mixed into hearty soups and stews. Besides adding a bold flavor, Mustard Greens are nourishing, containing vitamins A, C, and K, as well as essential minerals and antioxidants, contributing to a healthful diet.
Nicolas Donck, a Belgium native, relocated to Georgia and started Crystal Organic Farm back in the mid-90's with a mission to grow healthy, organic produce. Many say he is singlehandedly responsible for introducing Atlantans to many plants of the endive and chicory varieties that were already popular in Belgium. Along the way, Nicolas helped found the Morningside Farmers Market and eventually met the love of his life, and now farm partner, Jeni Jarrard-Donck. Jeni brings an extensive knowledge of medicinal herb cultivation and usage to the partnership, making Crystal Organic one of the most well-rounded and diverse farms in the State.
