||||||||||||||
| This European immigrant is a member of the Mustard family (Brassicaceae) and resides in the genus in which you find a number of common garden vegetables: cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, and brussel sprouts. The very young lower leaves and unopened flower buds can be eaten cooked. The seeds are used for seasoning in pickle recipes and in making mustard sauce; they are favored by songbirds and sometimes sold as food for caged birds. | ||||||||||||||
