Questions about mustard greens

How spicy are mustard microgreens?

Sharper than radish and noticeably hotter than arugula. The heat is volatile rather than lingering — it spikes and then clears, more like horseradish than chilli. Start with less than feels right.

Does cooking take the heat out?

Yes, quickly. The compounds responsible are volatile and heat destroys them, so if you want the heat, add the greens off the heat. If you want the flavour without the bite, a few seconds in a hot pan will do it.
