Bee attracting
 
Mizuna contains vitamins A, C, and K, folate, iron, B-complex vitamins like niacin, riboflavin, and thiamine, calcium, magnesium, selenium, zinc, and manganese. Mizuna also has several compounds like glucosinolates, kaempferol, and anthocyanin, which is the red pigment in the leaves, that offer antioxidant benefits.
Mizuna is best suited for both raw and cooked applications such as sautéing, stir-frying, and boiling. The young leaves can be used as a highlight in salades.
In Japan, Mizuna, like green varieties, is pickled with salt and served as an appetizer or with beer.
