Indian Mustard Variety Pusa Double Zero Mustard 31

Background
Conventional varieties of Indian mustard have high erucic acid content (~40%) among the different fatty acids present in mustard oil; and high glucosinolates in de-oiled seed meal cake. Both these compounds are not good for human and animal health, respectively. As per WHO recommendations, erucic acid in Indian mustard oil should be less than 2% and glucosinolates should be <30 ppm for better health.
