Purple Mitsuba (Cryptotaenia japonica f. atropurpurea)
The purple Mitsuba and the green Mitsuba, also known as Japanese parsley, are among the few garden plants that grow in the shade. This Japanese herb is consumed in the same way as parsley. All parts of the plant are edible, with a mild parsley flavor that is slightly aniseed. Additionally, Mitsuba is rich in carotene, potassium, and iron. It is a small perennial plant that tolerates our Quebec winters very well.
