Happy Place, Happy Space
Visited Savoure’s indoor farm owned & run by a running friend. It was fascinating to view & smell all the delicious leaves so had to order some to try.
These are not only locally grown, they are safe & clean. So much fun incorporating the different leaves into our meals:
Have you had wasabina leaves & mustard frills before? It was my first time this time.

Delight arrived in the mail from the super talented Sarah from Art Expedition.

Hi Ju-Lyn,
I’m with Julie.
Anything that looks like wasabi must be related to wasabi – one of my all time favorites.

The smoked salmon pasta looks divine. What a good idea to top it with greens! And thank you so much for the mention and enriching my own happy place!

We top our food with greens whenever we can … it’s just become habit and a preference. Easy way to make sure we get enough vegetable into our diet.

That is such a good idea. And arugula (and other sharp greens) add a special flavor. Thank you for the tip!

I never heard of wasabina leaves. It sounds like wasabi!

I believe it was named after wasabi for the spiciness, but not related at all to the root.

These leaves remind me of rocket/arugula leaves … spicy, yummy as “accents”

When I read “Of green things”, I was thinking nature… It all looks good. I have not knowingly had wasabina leaves, though it is possible it was in something that I have eaten. Does it have a bite, like wasabi?

It does have a distinct spiciness to it – not quite as intense as wasabi root, but certainly reminds me some of it.

Thank you for the kind mention and for the introduction to wasabina leaves and mustard frills. I look forward to giving both greens a try!

They are both delightfully spicy (wasabina more so than the mustard frills) – so far, we’ve been using them to garnish and add texture & spice. I am thinking of what other exciting things I can do.
