Mustard as a condiment has been around for thousands of years. There are several types of mustard plants, some are grown for their greens and their seeds, others for seeds only. There are three types of seeds available: they are used in condiments, pickles and general cooking.
The leaves, the seeds, and the stem of this mustard variety are edible. The plant appears in some form in African, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Italian, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and African-American (soul food) cuisine. Cultivars of B. juncea are grown as greens, and for the production of oilseed.
