Full Description

Basanti Mustard Greens (Brassica juncea) are a traditional yellow-seeded mustard variety prized for both its tender, flavorful greens and its medicinal and culinary value. The plants produce upright, fast-growing leafy rosettes with bright green leaves that have a mildly pungent, mustardy flavor that becomes sweeter when young. Basanti mustard is commonly used fresh, cooked, or allowed to mature for seed production. This variety is especially valued in traditional herbal practices and natural remedies. Easy to grow and quick to harvest, it is an excellent choice for home gardens, containers, and small-scale growing.
