　　　　Product Introduction: Mustard cabbage, also known as leaf mustard, is also referred to as rutabaga, mustard greens, or mustard root, and is a variant of the mustard plant — a root-type mustard. It has a firm texture, low moisture content, and high fiber, with a strong pungent mustard flavor and a slight bitterness. In the Xiangfan region, it is also called Zhuge Cai (Zhuge Vegetable), with the legend that eating mustard cabbage was first initiated by Zhuge Liang. Potherb mustard and preserved mustard tuber are also types of mustard. Preserved mustard tuber has a tender and plump texture with a crisp and spicy taste. Potherb mustard, also known as snow vegetable, is a leaf-type mustard with a distinctive spicy and aromatic flavor. The pickled mustard cabbage is rich in flavor, crispy and refreshing, slightly tangy, and uniquely tasty. It can be eaten raw, used in stir-fries, or added to soups. When paired with other vegetables, it can create a variety of colorful and flavorful dishes. With its authentic taste and long-lasting freshness, it won the title of quality product at the 1998 Jiaxing Quality Agricultural Products Exhibition and Technology Exchange held in October 1998. Currently, many farmers are expanding cultivation areas, improving processing techniques, and enhancing quality to make Haiyan mustard cabbage, a traditional product with a long history, a best-selling favorite among consumers.
