Use to create your own whole-grain mustard. Raw mustard seeds are an important part of pickling vegetables, and recipes for shrimp and crab boil blends. As with most mustard seeds, dry-roasting them will bring out their aromatic and attractive flavor. These mustard seeds are a bit more pungent, with medium heat and more spice than the flavor of regular yellow mustard typically bought from the grocery store.

Flavor Profile

How to Use

Use yellow mustard seeds to flavor sausage or boiled vegetables. Add whole seeds to pickling brines and preserving spices. Try dry roasting them before using as a seasoning.

About The Spice

Myrosinase is the enzyme that creates the pungent taste of mustard and is activated by water. Thus, when cooked in oil, the taste of the seeds will remain subtle and add a less pungent flavor to things like curry pastes.
