Abstract:
Mustard seeds are an important oilseed and India is one of the leading producers of these
oilseeds. Bulk of the production goes for oil extraction but de-husked mustard is a popular
table enricher on account of its flavour and pungency. A pasty product with mustard, salt
and vinegar is very popular abroad whereas mustard powder is used as condiment in many
food preparations like pickles and chutney, meat, salad dressings etc. North-Eastern states of
Assam and Arunachal Pradesh produce substantial quantity of mustard seeds and mustard
powder is also used extensively. Therefore, one of the North-Eastern states is the preferred
location
