Black mustard seed
Black mustard seeds are tiny seeds that come from the black mustard plant. They are widely used as a spice in cooking, especially in Indian cuisine, to add flavour and a bit of heat to dishes. These seeds are round and dark in colour, and when crushed or ground, they release a strong and pungent aroma.
Black mustard seeds are produced by allowing the black mustard plant to grow and flower. Once the flowers dry up, seed pods containing the tiny black seeds are harvested. The seeds are then dried and can be used whole in cooking or ground into a powder. The distinctive flavour of black mustard seeds comes from the compound they contain, which is released when they are crushed or cooked.
These seeds are commonly found on food labels as an ingredient in mustards, pickles, curry dishes, and salad dressings. They are used to enhance the flavour of these foods and provide a slightly spicy kick. Black mustard seeds can also be used in marinades for meats and as a seasoning for vegetables to add depth and complexity to the dishes. Overall, they are a versatile spice that can be found in many savoury recipes.
