More Information

Brassica juncea is commonly known as brown or Indian mustard. It is a hardy annual herb. It belongs to the Brassicaceae family. It typically grows between 30 cm and 100 cm in height. The plant is characterized by its erect and branched stems. The lower part forms a basal rosette of large, deeply lobed (lyrate-pinnatifid) green leaves. The upper leaves are smaller, lance-shaped, and often entire. During its blooming season, it produces bright yellow, four-petaled flowers. The flowers are arranged in elongated clusters called racemes. These flowers give way to narrow, cylindrical fruit pods known as siliques. Each silique contain small, globose seeds. These seeds are the key feature of the "brown mustard". They measure about 1 to 1.7 mm in diameter and range in color from dark reddish-brown to grayish-black. The plant is believed to have originated in the Central Asian Himalayas. Subsequently it diversified in China and India. B. juncea is now one of the most widely distributed mustard species globally.
