Mustard seed

Mustard seed is a small seed that comes from the mustard plant. It is commonly used as a spice to add flavour and a bit of heat to dishes. Mustard seeds are the building blocks for making mustard condiment, but they are also used whole or ground in cooking to add a unique taste to various recipes.

To make mustard seed ready for use, the seeds are harvested from the mustard plant, dried, and then ground into a powder. This powder can then be mixed with liquids like water, vinegar, or wine to create the familiar mustard paste or sauce that many people enjoy. Alternatively, the whole seeds can be toasted or used as a spice in various dishes.

Mustard seed appears on food labels because it adds a distinct flavour to many foods. It can be found in condiments like mustard sauce, salad dressings, marinades, and sauces. Mustard seed is also used in pickling spices, meat rubs, and curry powders. Its pungent taste can enhance the overall flavour profile of dishes like sandwiches, grilled meats, salad dressings, and casseroles.
