Botanical Name: Brassica juncea
Quantity: 10 Oriental Mustard seeds per pack, carefully selected.
Plant Type and Cultivation Cycle: Annual with rapid and vigorous growth, which allows for multiple staggered harvests throughout the season.
Maximum Height: The plant can reach 30-60 cm in height, depending on growing conditions and harvest time.
Culinary Uses: The tender leaves are excellent fresh in mixed salads, stir-fried in woks, stews, soups, or as a garnish. It's a versatile aromatic herb, perfect for adding a bold flavor and an oriental touch to your dishes.
Tasting Notes: It has large, tender, deep green leaves, sometimes with purple hues. Its flavor is distinctive, slightly pungent and pleasantly spicy, with an intensity that increases as the leaves ripen.
Hardiness and Origin: This variety is hardy and shows good resistance to light frosts. Its origins are Asia, where it has been a fundamental ingredient in many traditional cuisines for centuries.
Sowing Period: Direct sowing is recommended in spring (March to May) for summer crops, and in late summer/early autumn (August to September) for autumn/winter crops.
Harvest Period: The tender, crisp baby leaves can be harvested as early as 3-4 weeks after sowing. Mature leaves are ready in about 6-8 weeks.
Optimal Conditions for Germination: Maintain a constant soil temperature between 15°C and 20°C. The substrate must be constantly moist, but well drained.

Recommended Exposure: For optimal growth and abundant leaf production, full sun exposure is preferable. In regions with very hot summers, it tolerates partial shade to prevent premature flowering.
