Brown Mustard Seeds

Brown Mustard Seeds (Brassica juncea): Medium pungency, widely used in Indian and Asian cuisines, and for mustard paste production.

Brown mustard seeds (Brassica juncea) are small, round seeds ranging from dark brown to reddish-brown in color, known for their sharp, pungent flavor and high oil content. They are widely used as a spice, condiment, and oilseed crop. When ground or crushed, they release a hot, aromatic essence, making them popular in pickles, curries, spice blends, and mustard pastes.

Rich in minerals such as selenium, magnesium, and manganese, brown mustard seeds are also valued for their potential health benefits, including aiding digestion and providing antioxidant properties. They are cultivated primarily in India, Canada, Nepal, and parts of Europe, and are graded according to size, purity, and moisture content.
