This black-seeded relative of Mustard is frequently found growing wild in the Netherlands. If you sow it yourself once, you'll recognize it better in nature! The young leaves are deliciously spicy in salads, and older leaves can be stir-fried. The flowers and flower buds (like broccoli) are, of course, also edible (raw or after brief blanching), and the oil-rich seeds can be pressed into mustard. The flowers are popular with bees and bumblebees!
