	'''Mustard seeds''' are the small round [[seed]]s of various [[mustard plant]]s. The seeds are usually about {{convert\|1\|to\|2\|mm\|frac=32}} in diameter and may be colored from yellowish white to black. They are an important [[spice]] in many regional foods and may come from one of three different plants: black mustard (''[[Brassica nigra]]''), brown mustard (''[[Brassica juncea\|B. juncea]]''), or white mustard (''[[Sinapis alba]]'').

	Yellow mustard has a plant maturity of 85 to 90 days; whereas, brown and oriental mustard have a plant maturity of 90 to 95 days. If the temperature conditions are conducive to growth, a mustard plant will begin to bud five weeks after the seedlings have appeared. The plant will reach full bloom 7 to 10 days later. Black, brown or oriental varieties of mustard tend to have higher yields compared to yellow mustard. Seed yield is also related to the bloom period. In other words, the longer the bloom period, the greater the seed yield.

'''Mustard seeds''' are the small round [[seed]]s of various [[mustard plant]]s. The seeds are usually about {{convert|1|to|2|mm|frac=32}} in diameter and may be colored from yellowish white to black. They are an important [[spice]] in many regional foods and may come from one of three different plants: black mustard (''[[Brassica nigra]]''), brown mustard (''[[Brassica juncea|B. juncea]]''), or white mustard (''[[Sinapis alba]]'').

Grinding and mixing the seeds with [[water]], [[vinegar]] or other liquids creates the yellow [[condiment]] known as [[Mustard (condiment)|mustard]].

==Cultivation==
Mustard seeds generally take eight to ten days to germinate if placed under the proper conditions, which include a cold atmosphere and relatively moist soil. Mature mustard plants grow into shrubs.

Yellow mustard has a plant maturity of 85 to 90 days; whereas, brown and oriental mustard have a plant maturity of 90 to 95 days. If the temperature conditions are conducive to growth, a mustard plant will begin to bud five weeks after the seedlings have appeared. The plant will reach full bloom 7 to 10 days later. Black, brown or oriental varieties of mustard tend to have higher yields compared to yellow mustard. Seed yield is also related to the bloom period. In other words, the longer the bloom period, the greater the seed yield.

Mustard grows well in temperate regions. Major producers of mustard seeds include India, Pakistan, Canada, Nepal, Hungary, Great Britain and the United States.

In Pakistan, rapeseed-mustard is the second most important source of oil, after cotton. It is cultivated over an area of 307,000 hectares (1190 sq. mi) with an annual production of 233,000 tonnes and contributes about 17% to the domestic production of edible oil.

Mustard seeds are a rich source of oil and protein. The seed has oil as high as 46–48%, and the whole seed meal has 43.6% protein.

=== Production ===
In 2021, Nepal ranked the highest in mustard seed production, followed by Russia and Canada. In 2023, India led the world production of mustard seeds with 12 million tons.
