　　Trademark Owner: Penghua High Mountain Vegetable Planting Association, Nan'an City

　　Penghua black mustard greens are valued for their rounded leaves and stems, offering a naturally sweet and refreshing flavor. Grown in Li Yang Village, Penghua Town, the region’s high altitude, frequent morning and evening fog, and ample rainfall contribute to their distinctive characteristics. After frost, the leaves turn purple, further enhancing their visual appeal. The greens are noted for their dark green color, tender texture, and crisp quality, making them a staple in local cuisine with a long history.

　　A cherished local tradition, “Penghua Mustard Greens surpass the honor of a scholar,” links this dish to concepts of longevity. Each Spring Festival, families in Penghua prepare long mustard greens as offerings to their ancestors, symbolizing "longevity and endurance." Rich in vitamins A, B, C, and D, Penghua black mustard greens are appreciated for their potential health benefits, such as supporting digestion, improving vision, and promoting overall wellness.
