Namenia (turnip greens)
Namenia (Stielmus) is a very productive and good tasting leaf stem vegetable, for cooking or for salad. Dense sowing and early cutting allows for two cuts. Relatively frost-hardy. Repeat harvest possible. Cut from a height of ca. 30 cm. Generally sold in bunches. Mild-spicy cabbage flavour.
