✦ Vitamin K rich
✦ Vitamin C source
✦ Vitamin A
✦ Glucosinolates
Mustard leaves are peppery brassica greens used in Indian, Chinese and Southern US cooking. They are rich in vitamins A, C and K, with folate, calcium and glucosinolate compounds linked to brassica health benefits.

Preparation note
Eat young leaves raw in salads to keep the peppery bite and vitamin C; glucosinolates and heat-sensitive vitamins reduce with longer cooking.
