Mustard seeds

Growing mustard seeds in a kitchen garden is simple and highly rewarding! Mustard plants are fast-growing, need minimal care, and provide tender leaves (greens) and seeds that can be used in cooking or oil extraction.

🌱 Why Grow Mustard in Your Kitchen Garden?

• Fast growth (30–40 days for leaves, 90–100 days for seeds)

• Grows well in Indian climates

• Leaves can be used like spinach (e.g., sarson ka saag)

• Seeds used for tempering, pickling, or making mustard oil
