UNTREATED AND OPEN POLLINATED SEEDS

Brassica rapa

Tokyo Bekana is a versatile Asian mustard green. With its large, ruffled, light-green leaves and crunchy white midribs, it looks like a lettuce but grows like a mustard—making it the perfect warm-season alternative to romaine lettuce. Its mild, flavour and crisp texture make it ideal for salads, baby greens and microgreens, while mature leaves are excellent for stir-fries, soups and Asian-style dishes.

A fast-growing, prolific producer, Tokyo Bekana forms loose, leafy heads that can be harvested at multiple times through the season. Unlike traditional lettuces, it tolerates heat well, stays tender without turning bitter and even withstands light frost, extending your harvest season.

Tokyo Bekana thrives in well-drained, fertile loamy soil enriched with compost. It prefers full sun to partial shade, making it suitable for spring, summer and fall cultivation across most of India. Regular watering and successive sowing ensure a continuous supply of fresh, crunchy greens.

Perfect for kitchen gardens, terrace pots and organic farms, Tokyo Bekana is a must-grow green for Indian gardeners seeking nutritious, heat-tolerant salad greens.
