This plant is mainly used as a salad leaf. It is very easy to grow and adds a peppery flavour to salads. The younger leaves are milder in flavour and more tender. The leaves can also be cooked as a spinach substitute. Add the leaves to stir-fries, salads, vegetable dishes, sauces, pizza or sauté them in olive oil. Plant in fertile, rich soil in part shade.
