Organic Yellow Mustard

Popularly partnered with cress, mustard is a wonderfully tangy sprout that adds a hot, spicy touch to salads, sandwiches, jacket potatoes or other dishes. Useful as a fresh alternative to horse radish. It is very quick and easy to grow producing a healthy nutritious snack in just a few days. Mustard is a gelatinous seed, but is easily grown in our Cress Tray or on the outside of a damp hemp and flax Sprout Bag laid flat*.

Sprout in a warm, well-lit place (a windowsill is ideal) for a healthy nutritious snack. Wash the seeds, soaking is not strictly necessary, and spread them sparsely on the stainless steel mesh of the Cress Tray or on a thoroughly moistened bag and water or mist daily. If using a hemp sprout bag or similar, lay it on a plate to keep your work surface or windowsill dry. The delicious sprouted mustard shoots will be ready to cut in 2-7 days. 1 spoon of seeds yields 2 spoons of sprouts.

When the sprouts have green leaves they are ready to eat. Harvest by cutting just above the seeds and roots. You may prefer to eat the mustard sprouts while they are still yellow, before the leaves turn green. Try them both ways.

Mustard sprouts help detoxify the liver and are believed to boost the immune system. They contain vitamins A, B, C, E and K, and are rich in the mineral salts Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium and especially Sulphur. They also contain Zinc, Carotene, Amino Acids, Chlorophyll Trace Elements, Antioxidants and are 35% Protein.

*Mustard is a gelatinous seed that needs only a few minutes soaking. The seeds produce a sticky jelly-like coating which makes them unsuitable for growing inside jars or sprout bags. The easiest and cleanest way to grow cress is on a specially designed cress tray with a stainless steel mesh insert that allows you to grow it with just water, so you don't have to mess with compost.
