6 Degrees East Heirloom Black Mustard Seeds
R32.00
Whether you want to harvest the leaves for soup, stews, salad and stir-fries, the micro-greens for plating garnish, or want to harvest the seeds to make your own home-grown mustard sauce, or want to use the edible flowers for garnish (or garden eye candy), black mustard can do it all! Bonus tips: Mustard is an excellent green manure, so when the plants die down, they benefit your compost. These 6 Degrees East black mustard seeds are heirloom, organically grown (and not chemically treated), and non-GMO – ideal for the organic gardener who knows what’s what, and what’s not!
All 6 Degrees East’s seeds are grown organically in the Highveld, carefully harvested by hand, and these heirlooms have been bred and acclimatised to South African weather, setting you up for your organic food gardening journey’s success!
