History:
Tokyo Bekana is a fast-growing, heat-tolerant leafy green originating from Chinese cabbage varieties introduced to Japan by soldiers after the 1904-1905 Russo-Japanese War. Developed in the Tokyo area, it is known for its loose, tender, lime-green leaves and is used in salads, stir-fries, and as a popular "space cabbage" for NASA.
Flavor Profile:
Tokyo Bekana microgreens are characterized by a mild, fresh, and slightly sweet flavor with a subtle, delicate peppery or nutty bite. They offer a uniquely tender yet crunchy, crisp texture, resembling a hybrid of delicate lettuce and mild mustard greens. They are often described as having a refreshing, buttery, and clean taste.
Suggested Uses:
These microgreens are highly versatile for raw, nutrient-dense additions to salads, sandwiches, and smoothies, or as a garnish for soups, stir-fries, and wraps.
