Product Details

Brassica juncea, known as red mustard, is a loose-leaf annual plant with green leaves showing reddish tones and a slightly pungent flavor. Its tender leaves can be eaten in salads, sautés, or soups, providing a flavorful and nutritious addition.

It is a fast-growing plant that adapts to different soil types, prefers full sun, and regular watering without waterlogging. Besides culinary use, it can also be grown as a cover crop to enrich the soil and attract beneficial insects.

How to sow Brassica juncea seeds

Sow seeds directly in trays or in the ground from late winter to early summer. Lightly cover the seeds with fine substrate and keep moist without waterlogging. Germination usually occurs within 5-10 days. Once seedlings have several true leaves, transplant them leaving 20-30 cm between plants for proper rosette development.
