Mustard Seeds Grow - How

The plant begins to stretch upward, preparing for flower production.

The shift from vegetative growth to reproduction is triggered by a combination of increasing day length (photoperiodism) and temperature (vernalization, though many mustards are less sensitive to cold than other Brassicas).

The harvested seeds are dried to a moisture level of around 10% to preserve them for storage. The seeds are then stored in a cool, dry place to maintain their quality and flavor.
