Premium Organics Mustard Seeds Black 100% Certified Organic

Historical Significance

Mustard seeds were seen as a symbol of fertility in ancient India. Across centuries, civilizations including the Greeks, Chinese, Indians, and Africans have used mustard for both culinary and medicinal purposes.

Flavour Profile & Types

The smaller and darker the seed, the more intense the heat. Black mustard seeds —smallest and oblong—deliver a sharp, hot flavour followed by a nutty aftertaste. Whole seeds themselves have little flavour until chewed or ground, releasing a pungent kick.

Culinary Uses

Mustard pairs beautifully with cold meats, sausages, grilled steaks, poultry, fish, sauerkraut, herbs, garlic, wine, and even fruits.

Ground yellow mustard acts as a natural emulsifier, stabilizing salad dressings and mayonnaise. It also enhances flavour and binds moisture in processed meats.

Health & Wellness

Mustard seeds stimulate the flow of saliva and gastric juices—boosting appetite and digestion. Traditionally, they've been used as a natural remedy for asthma, coughs, and even as a mild laxative or to induce vomiting in specific cases.
