Zel Allen wrote a terrific recipe piece on Brassica vegetables in the recent issue of Vegetarian Journal. Zel states: “The Brassicas are a delight to know. Formally, they’re called Brassicaceae or Cruciferae, but their very informal family members are well known cousins. Living in the neighborhood are watercress, bok choy, all broccoli and cabbage varieties, choy sum, Swiss chard, tatsoi, arugula, rutabagas, radishes, Daikon, horseradish, kale, collards, turnips and their greens, mustard greens, and arugula. Also in the hood are mustard seeds and mustard oils.
