Organic Mustard Seeds

Though growing mustard greens is most popular in the South, don't let that dampen your enthusiasm! Organic mustard leaves are a leafy brassica vegetable that create nutritious and tasty greens. Mustard greens are slightly bitter and spicy, and they resemble bok choi leaves, turnip greens, and kale. Thriving in cool spring and fall weather, mustard greens are high in vitamins A, C, and K and are a superfood that should definitely be included in your garden this year.

You’re already going the extra mile to grow your own food, why not go a step further and make sure your mustard seeds are certified organic?

“Organic” is a label that just means that a seed variety has been held to the highest production standards set by the USDA National Organic Program. Organically certified seeds are seeds that have been raised, harvested, and processed without the use of synthetic chemicals or fertilizers. The NOP also necessitates that organic seeds always come from organic seedstock, unless there isn’t an organic option available for that particular variety.

The organic certification was put in place to protect human and environmental health. Conventional agriculture is one of the leading contributors to deforestation, pollution, decreased soil fertility, and climate change—and the organic certification encourages farming practices that halt and even reverse some of that damage.

Take a small step for the environment and a major leap for your health by purchasing Eden Brothers’ organic mustard seeds. Not only will you have peace of mind, but we think you’ll be more satisfied with the end result—our organic mustard seeds produce strong plants that are as hardy and strong as they are nutritious.

Mustard greens are an underrated superfood that is just as nutritious as kale. Prepare organic mustard greens like you would spinach, tossing baby mustard greens in your salad or soup for a spicy, nourishing boost. Rich in antioxidants and vitamins A, K, C, and E, organic mustard is a leafy green worth incorporating into your daily diet.

A member of the brassica family, mustard is a cool-season hardy annual that prefers to be directly seeded in the garden as soon as the soil is workable, about three weeks before the last spring frost. This cut-and-come again vegetable, when grown and harvested correctly, gives twin harvests in spring and fall.

Maximize your organic mustard seed harvests by succession planting organic mustard seeds every three weeks until midsummer, and continue succession plantings in late summer for fall harvests. Organic mustard greens do well in partial to full sun and with consistent moisture.

Tendergreen Organic Mustard is a particularly high-yielding heirloom variety renowned for its mild-flavored leaves. Heat and drought-tolerant, Tendergreen Organic Mustard seeds thrive in all hardiness zones and are one of the easiest and most nutritious leafy greens to sow and harvest.

If you’re the do-it-yourself type, you can make your own mustard at home! Let a few of your mustard plants go to seed, then harvest the seeds and allow them to dry. Using either a mortar and pestle or a coffee grinder, grind the seeds into a powder. Mix an equal amount of water with the mustard powder, then add a splash of apple cider vinegar to preserve the taste. Let the mixture rest in the fridge for a day or two, then serve it up!

Not only do our organic mustard seeds meet the high standards met by the USDA, but these seeds are also backed by Eden Brothers’ Safe Seed Pledge—guaranteed to be 100% pure non-GMO seed, with zero additives or fillers.
