About Sarson (Brown Mustard)
Sarson (Brassica juncea) is a traditional mustard grown for both its peppery leaves and aromatic brown seeds. The young greens are widely used in sarson ka saag and other cooked leaf dishes, where their bold flavor softens into a rich, earthy depth when simmered. If allowed to mature, plants produce seed pods that can be harvested for whole mustard seeds used in tempering, pickles, and everyday cooking.
Fast-growing and cold tolerant, sarson thrives in cooler weather and produces steady leafy harvests before flowering.
Why We Grow It
We grow organic brown sarson because it’s a dual-purpose crop that connects fresh greens with essential kitchen spices. Well suited to California’s cooler seasons, it offers both hearty leafy harvests and the option to collect your own mustard seeds from the garden.
