Saskatchewan - Like mustard, chancers are wether you are enjoying yellow, brown or oriental, it was probably grown in Saskatchewan. Three to four hundred thousand acres are utilized for growning mustard seed. In a February 2005 speech to the Empire Club of Canada, Saskatchewan's Premier Lorne Calvert said: "Every drop of mustard on a Yankee Stadium hotdog now comes from Saskatchewan." According to Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Canada is the world's single largest exporter of mustard seed and among the top five producers in the world. Over 80 percent of Canada's mustard crop is grown in Saskatchewan, including the brown mustard seed used for Dijon. The Humboldt area is known as the mustard capital of the world. It began to be grown in North American after supplies from Europe were cut off during WWII. Plants are 30 to 45 inches high with yellow flowers. |
