Mizuna

Japanese: ミズナ

Also known as Kyouna. A one- to two-year-old vegetable of the Brassicaceae family. Its name comes from the fact that it was cultivated in rice paddies around Kyoto. The leaves grow in clusters of several dozen with petioles, are dark green, elongated, and deeply incised. They are harvested in February to March and used for pickles and soup. Mibuna (Mibuna) is a variant of this, with leaves that are not incised and are cultivated in the Kansai region. Mizuna is also a local name for the wild vegetable Uwabamisou.

キョウナとも。アブラナ科の一〜二年生野菜。名は京都付近の水田で栽培されたことによる。葉は葉柄があって数十本束生し，濃緑色で細長く，深い切れ込みがある。２〜３月ごろ収穫し，漬物，汁の実などにする。ミブナ（壬生菜）はこれの変種で，葉には切れ込みがなく関西地方で栽培される。山菜のウワバミソウの地方名にもミズナがある。
