SOURCING

Axten Farms is a multigenerational farm with roots going back to 1916 based in Saskatchewan, Canada.

The mustard plant grows a few feet off the ground, with bright yellow flowers that turn into long, narrow pods reminiscent of pea pods, which are full of the spicy yellow seeds.

Mustard is a member of the Brassica family, which includes broccoli, cauliflower and kale. It's an excellent cover crop, which helps with pest management and acts as a natural fumigant.
