Direct Origin Sourcing from India’s Mustard Belt: We procure our mustard seeds directly from primary markets (mandis) and established farmer networks in key cultivation regions like Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and Gujarat. This ensures access to the freshest crops, preserving the seeds’ natural pungency, distinct flavor, and high oil content.
Advanced Processing and Optional Sterilization: To meet global quality and safety standards, our mustard seeds undergo rigorous cleaning via multi-stage destoners, magnetic separators, and state-of-the-art color sorters (Sortex) to remove impurities and ensure uniform grading. We also offer optional ETO-free Steam Sterilization for compliance with stringent low-microbiology requirements in European and North American markets.
Comprehensive Export Documentation: We facilitate hassle-free international trade by providing a complete set of required documents. Every shipment includes Phytosanitary Certificates, Certificate of Origin, and Fumigation Certificates. Additionally, independent third-party lab inspection reports from recognized bodies like SGS, Eurofins, or Intertek can be provided upon request to verify quality and safety parameters.
We ensure complete traceability, lot-wise testing, and hassle-free customs clearance.
What is the difference between Yellow, Brown, and Black Mustard Seeds?
Yellow (or White) mustard seeds (Sinapis alba) are larger, milder in flavor, and have strong binding properties, making them ideal for prepared mustard pastes and pickling. Brown (Brassica juncea) and Black (Brassica nigra) seeds are smaller, significantly more pungent and fiery, and have higher oil content; they are preferred for oil extraction, spice blends, and traditional tempering.
Does Shivex International offer low-microbiology or steam-sterilized Mustard Seeds?
Yes. Upon request, we provide ETO-free Steam Sterilized Mustard Seeds (Yellow, Brown, and Black) that meet the strict microbiological standards required by the European Union (ESA) and North America (ASTA).
What purity levels are available for bulk orders?
We offer different purity grades to suit diverse industrial needs, ranging from 98% to 99% (Machine Cleaned) for general grinding and oil extraction, up to 99.5% and 99.9% (Sortex Cleaned) for premium retail packaging and whole-seed applications.
