Mustard seeds are small, round seeds with a pale, sandy brown color, harvested from the white mustard plant (Sinapis alba). These tiny seeds are known for their bold, tangy flavor and subtle heat, making them a versatile and essential spice in a wide variety of cuisines. When used whole, mustard seeds add texture, aroma, and a gentle spiciness to dishes without overpowering other ingredients.

In cooking, mustard seeds are often tempered in oil to release their flavor, a common technique in Indian, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean recipes. They are frequently used in pickling blends, where their pungent, slightly bitter notes enhance the taste and longevity of vegetables. They also make an excellent addition to marinades, salad dressings, and meat dishes, lending complexity and a mild kick to sauces and gravies.

With their unique flavor and culinary flexibility, mustard seeds are a must-have spice for home cooks and professional chefs alike, perfect for bringing both depth and brightness to a wide range of savory dishes.
