Description
Yellow Mustard (Sinapis alba) is a fast-growing heirloom crop prized for its multi-purpose utility in the garden and kitchen. Producing lush green foliage topped with bright yellow, nectar-rich flowers, it yields smooth light-tan seeds that serve as the main ingredient in classic prepared yellow mustard, pickling spices, and dry condiments. In addition to its culinary uses, it acts as a fast-growing green manure cover crop, soil biofumigant, and excellent pollinator attractant.
