Our Product Range

CN Seeds specialise in herbs and leafy salads, we offer a wide range of traditional and innovative leaf products for the babyleaf fresh cut and bagged salads. Look for the new varieties of red leaf pak choi and komatsuna and new herb varieties for pot production or cut product. There are several new introductions ideal for the emerging microgreen market, also a purpose made growing medium, GrowFelt, specifically for microleaf production.

We also have a good selection of vegetables for farm shop and retail plant sales.

Komatsuna (Mustard Spinach)
The common name Mustard Spinach can be confusing. Komatsuna is not at all pungent, and has a very mild brassica flavour unlike Mustards. It is a very versatile leafy vegetable, and can be harvested at many stages of growth. There is salad komatsuna, which is ideal to grow at high density for harvest at babyleaf or teen leaf stage for use as spinach. Komatsuna does not make full hearts, but matures to make leafy greens (the Japanese equivalent of our Spring Cabbage). These are great for stir fry or to steam as an easily prepared and very nutritious leafy vegetable. The new generation of F1 hybrid Komatsuna, bring some significant improvements to this underrated vegetable. Komatsuna can now be sown virtually every month of the year, for glasshouse or tunnel crops or open field.
