Nozawana
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A nozawana (野沢菜) is a Japanese leaf vegetable, often pickled. It is of the same species as the common turnip. Its leaves are approximately 60-90cm long.
Sometime between 1751-1764 it was taken by a person who lived in Nozawa from the Kyoto mountains to the Nozawa hot pool village. It was cultivated around that area, and thus named Nozawana: na means vegetable in Japanese.
