Mustard was once planted by the Spaniards all along the coast of California so they could find their way back as they caravaned up the state, building their missions. It’s also the hottest color trend amongst Millenials.
You might not like that mustard, at least you shouldn’t because it is an INVASIVE SPECIES! Which means it takes over the local habitat of naturally occurring wild and plant life.
However, the mustard plant is not only good for leaving a breadcrumb trail or producing that tasty yellow paste you smear all over your hot dogs; the mustard plant is in fact very versatile.
You see, wild mustard, aka Brassica Oleracea, is in fact the same plant as Brussel sprouts, cabbage, kale, cauliflower, broccoli, and kohlrabi (which no one knows about. Seriously what even is kohlrabi?).
With so many other edible plants being derived from wild mustard, odds are that even if you don’t love the vibrant yellow goo that some consider a necessity for their afternoon social distance violation BBQ at grand dad’s house, you probably enjoy one of the other green fibery bunches that are reaped from this plant that is slowly destroying the coastlines of California.
