Ancient Indian and Sumerian texts from 3000 BCE mention the use of Black Mustard Seeds. Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, used these seeds medicinally too. Their pungent flavour and acrid taste are widely known and used for a variety of purposes from cooking to medicinal.
Black mustard seeds at Girveda is 100% naturally grown using Cow Based Natural Farming, or CBNF
Every one of our partner farmers uses organic manures and pesticides. In CBNF they are known as Jivamrita and are prepared from traditional recipes using cow dung, cow urine, straw, and other dairy waste
This is supplemented with seed protecting Bijamrita, and soil protecting Achhadana, and Whapasa techniques, using cow-based products, thus ensuring a closed natural loop
CBNF embraces a zero-budget farming philosophy
