Harvesting

Organic Black Mustard Seeds are harvested from the Brassica nigra plant, which is grown in various regions around the world. The seeds are usually sown in the spring and harvested in late summer or early autumn, when the plants have reached maturity and the seed pods have turned brown. The seeds are then carefully collected and dried to preserve their quality. Black Mustard Seeds are small, round, and have a dark brown to black colour. They are known for their pungent, spicy flavour and are commonly used in cooking and for their medicinal properties. These seeds are rich in nutrients, including protein, dietary fibre, and various vitamins and minerals such as calcium, iron, magnesium, and phosphorus.

As an organic product, Black Mustard Seeds are grown without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, making them a natural and healthy choice for foodies. The seeds are typically processed minimally to retain their nutritional value, and no additional nutrients or vitamins are added, as they are already abundant in their natural raw form. Overall, the harvesting and growing process of organic Black Mustard Seeds ensures that the product maintains its natural composition and nutritional benefits, making it a popular choice for health-conscious foodies and culinary enthusiasts alike.

Best Before

We believe in mindful consumption and want to share some insights on best before dates, especially when it comes to our dried foods. Best before dates indicate peak freshness and quality, not safety. Dried foods, such as grains and legumes, can often be safe and nutritious beyond their best before dates. They may lose a bit of their peak quality, but they remain a valuable and sustainable food source.

We encourage you to trust your senses. If stored properly and free from moisture, dried foods can maintain their safety and flavour for an extended period beyond the best before date. Embrace a less wasteful approach by exploring and using these ingredients even if they've passed their best before dates. Together, let's reduce food waste and maximise the full potential of every pantry staple.

Explore Waste Savers, where you'll find items approaching or past their best before date at reduced prices. Embrace conscious consumption, reduce food waste, and give these products a second chance. Your purchase not only saves you money but also contributes to a more sustainable and mindful approach to nourishment.

Packaging & Storage

You’ll receive your Organic Black Mustard Seeds in a compostable kraft bag (unless you chose to get a compostable resealable pouch instead). These will be fine stored in the kraft bag for an extended time although, we recommend decanting and storing them in an airtight container to maintain optimum quality. Once decanted, you can save multiple bags and return them to us for a reward.
