Use our Yellow Mustard Seeds to create your own homemade yellow mustard, or add whole mustard seeds to your pickling blends or shrimp & crap boil recipes. These mustard seeds are a bit more pungent with medium heat & more spice than the flavor of regular yellow mustard typically bought from the grocery store.

Flavor Profile

These mustard seeds are earthy and pungent with medium heat and pair well with cumin, dill, fennel, garlic, and pepper.

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.

More Information

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.
