INVASIVE IRRIGATION KITS
This kit contains seeds of the plant, Brassica juncea com- monly referred to as Indian Mustard, as its known origins are Central Asia. Currently, it is distributed across most of the globe, including the entire United States, where it is con- sidered a noxious weed. It is most commonly found in disturbed areas - along highways, train tracks, vacant lots and various “waste” areas.
Young tender leaves of mustard greens are used in salads or mixed with other salad greens. Older leaves with stems may be eaten fresh, canned or frozen, for potherbs, and to a limited extent in salads. Mustard greens are often cooked with ham or salt pork, and may be used in soups and stews. Although widely and extensively grown as a vegetable, it is being grown more for its seeds which yield an essential oil and condiment. Easier to grow than Black Mustard (B. nigra), it has nearly replaced it in brown mustard preparations since 1945. Mustard Oil is one of the major edible oils in India, the fixed oil content of raivarying between 28.6% and 45.7%. Oil is also used for hair oil, lubricants and, in Russia, as a substitute for olive oil. Adding 1.1–2.2% mustard oil to fresh apple cider retards fermentation. Seed residue is used as cattle feed and in fertilizers.It is high is vitamins A and C and Iron, providing an adult with 60% of his recommended daily Vitamin A requirement, all the Vitamin C requirement and about one-fifth the iron.
