Mustard Seeds (Sarson): Yellow vs Black & Oil Content

Yellow & Black

Yellow (white) mustard is milder and favoured for condiments and pickling; black/brown mustard is more pungent and used in tempering and spice blends across Asian cuisines.

Oil Content

Crushing buyers specify oil content (typically 36–42%) and FFA levels. Culinary buyers focus on seed size, colour and purity.

Cleaning

Machine-cleaning removes admixture and dust to meet export tolerances. Moisture is controlled to prevent caking in transit.

Packing & MOQ

25 kg bags or bulk; MOQ from 5 MT.
