Introduction
Mustard is an annual herb with many uses. People grow it as an oilseed crop, vegetable, and fodder. Three species are popular for their condiment value: pale yellow or white mustard (Brassica hirta), brown mustard (Brassica juncea), and black mustard (Brassica nigra). The plant has long, branched leaves that are hairy on both sides. Its small yellow flowers have four cruciform petals. Mustard seeds, measuring 1.5 to 3 millimeters, play a key role in culinary and industrial applications.

Origin and Global Distribution
White mustard originated in Southern Europe. Brown mustard came from China and later spread to Northern India. Black mustard evolved in the Southern Mediterranean region. Today, white mustard grows in Australia, China, Chile, Denmark, Italy, Japan, the UK, the Netherlands, North Africa, Canada, and the USA.

Mustard Cultivation in India
In India, mustard grows best in loamy or clayey loam soils. North Indian farmers cultivate it as a rabi crop. South Indian farmers grow it during the rainy season, from July to November.

Culinary Uses of Mustard
