ORGANIC MUSTARD SEEDS, brown, whole

Botanical Name: Brassica nigra
Production: Brassica nigra is technically a black mustard plant with large stalked leaves that are in the same family as arugula, horseradish, watercress, and wasabi. Annually, it blooms flowers with four yellow petals that later form seed pods with four round seeds inside.
Qualities: The blackish brown seeds are very flavourful, though they have almost no aroma.
Common Use: Whole seeds can be heated in oil to produce a nutty flavor before being added to stews, soups, or other dishes. They can also be infused into vinegar, crushed to make a poultice or added to teas.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place in a sealed container.
Safety: We recommend that you consult with a qualified healthcare practitioner before using any herbal products, particularly if you are pregnant, nursing, or on any medications.
