Wasabina Mustard
Wasabina mustard is a type of mustard that is made with a special Japanese horseradish called Wasabina. This variety of horseradish has a unique flavor and heat that is distinct from other types of horseradish.
Wasabina mustard typically consists of ground wasabina leaves and stems, along with mustard seeds, vinegar, salt, and other spices. The resulting paste has a bright green color and a spicy, pungent flavor that is both hot and slightly sweet.
This type of mustard is often used as a condiment for sushi and other Japanese dishes, as well as a seasoning for meat, seafood, and vegetables. It can also be used as a marinade or added to sauces and dressings to give them a spicy kick.
Overall, wasabina mustard is a versatile and flavorful condiment that adds a unique twist to any dish.

We grow with the seasons! So in most climates, you will be able to grow year round. Typically most leafy greens like the cooler temperatures. Some varieties such as spinach, bok choy, and mustards do not grow in warm temperatures (> 70 degrees). However, if there are heat tolerant varieties - we will grow them!
You want to be aware of the extreme temperature ranges in your region. If you follow the guidelines below, you will be safe:
COLD CLIMATES
- If you live in a location where the temperatures dip below freezing, then you will want to wait until night temperatures are in the 40's consistently.
- On the occasional dips into the 30's, you can cover with a sheet or bring them indoors for that time period. The breeze is good for plants and helps to keep bugs at bay so growing outdoors is optimal.
WARM CLIMATES:
- If you live where it reaches above 90 degrees consistently, you'll want to grow heat tolerant fruiting plants (tomatoes and peppers) and herbs (basil, mint, rosemary) primarily.
To find out what extreme temperatures your location experiences, check out the USDA zone for your region.
We always ship our organic seedlings at their peak for transplant which means they can be held before shipping. We typically ship plants according to the following schedule:
CA - ship Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays.
US states outside of CA - ship Mondays and Tuesdays.
Outside of US - we do not currently ship outside of the US.
For more information, refer to our shipping policy.
Don't worry we tend to over-communicate the details when it comes to logistics. You'll know when orders (both seedlings and other garden products) are shipped.
