Frequently Asked Questions
Find helpful answers about growing, harvesting, and using Mitsuba Japanese Parsley.
How do you grow Mitsuba Japanese Parsley from seeds?
Sow Mitsuba seeds in moist, fertile soil and cover them lightly. Cold stratification may improve germination. Keep the soil consistently moist and place the seed tray in a cool location with indirect light until seedlings develop.
What is the difference between Mitsuba and regular parsley?
Mitsuba (Cryptotaenia japonica) is a Japanese herb with three-part leaves and a delicate flavor combining parsley, celery, and cilantro-like notes. Regular parsley has a different leaf structure and a more familiar parsley flavor. Mitsuba is especially popular in Japanese soups and traditional dishes.
When and how should you harvest Mitsuba leaves?
Harvest Mitsuba leaves once the plants are well established and have developed several healthy stems. Cut outer stems near the base while leaving enough foliage for continued growth. Fresh leaves are best used soon after harvesting in soups, salads, rice dishes, and garnishes.
