Overview
Sarepta Mustard Seeds Brassica juncea 50 pcs Spicy Leafy Vegetable with Green Curly Leaves for Sowing in the Garden or Containers

Brassica juncea, commonly known as Sarepta mustard or Asian leafy mustard, is a fast-growing annual vegetable from the Brassicaceae family. This pack contains 50 seeds, allowing you to grow your own supply of tasty mustard leaves for the whole family. The plant is characterised by fleshy broad green leaves with slightly curly, wavy edges and light green fleshy petioles, which can be harvested individually or as a whole rosette. In the kitchen, the leaves are valued for their spicy, pungent flavour reminiscent of horseradish or radish, which they acquire due to the presence of natural mustard compounds. This species has long been used in Indian, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean cuisines and is suitable for preparing salads, soups, stir-fries, fermented dishes, and herb pesto.

  • 50 pcs of Brassica juncea seeds

Sowing Sarepta mustard is very simple and can be managed by even novice growers – sow the seeds directly in rows in the garden bed, in a balcony box, or in a deep container on the windowsill, where the temperature does not drop below 12 °C. The plants develop quickly after germination and the first young leaves can be harvested after just 3–4 weeks from sowing as a mildly spicy ingredient for salads. To ensure a continuous harvest, it is recommended to sow gradually at intervals of a few weeks, providing a stable supply of fresh leaves throughout the warm season. Mustard appreciates regular watering, light fertilisation with nitrogenous fertilisers, and cooler partial shade in hot summer, when it would otherwise begin to flower quickly and become bitter. This pack of 50 Brassica juncea seeds is a practical choice for anyone wishing to grow unusual leafy vegetables with a strong flavour and wide culinary uses in their garden.
