Nature Kitchen Brown Mustard Seeds

Brown mustard seeds are used for pickling and as a seasoning and are the main ingredient in European and Chinese mustards.

There are two major types of mustard seed: white (or yellow) and Brown (Asian). A third species, the black mustard seed, has been replaced for most purposes by the brown species because the latter can be grown and harvested more economically.

Brown mustard seeds are similar in size to the black variety and vary in colour from light to dark brown and are more pungent than white, less than the black.

Try dry roasting them to help aggravate the qualities of this spice or sprout some for an unusual addition to a salad.
