Wasabina mustard leaves can be eaten both raw and cooked. Raw, you can use them in a mesclun, a sandwich or for a spicy salad that will accompany cold meat for example. The flavor of wasabina mustard greens is quite strong. You can also enjoy them cooked after having prepared them in a steamer or wok. Their flavor will be a little less strong.
