Norabouna

Certified Organic

Brassica napus

A versatile and delicious herb with complex flavor.

Norabouna is a land-race crop from Japan, a semi-wild member of the Brassica plant family that sends delicious shoots skyward each spring. These shoots are harvested and prepared like broccoli or kale: steamed, stir-fried, or cooked in soups. The greens can also be eaten at any time of year. The low-demand nature of this versatile crop gained it a reputation in Japan as a food that can stave off famine, but it's also just real good eats. We are honored to introduce this variety in partnership with Shumei and to bring a taste of Natural Agriculture to your garden.

This product was grown and processed on our own certified organic farm, Four Fold Farm, in the Hudson Valley of New York State.
