Organic Mustard Brown – Seeds

Organic Mustard Brown (Brassica Juncea) is an indispensable ingredient in any cook’s larder. Whole black mustard seeds, either dry roasted, or “tempered” in a hot oil with fresh curry leaves, show off their nutty character in southern Indian cooking. Once ground, mustard seed releases its warmth, earthiness and pungency. Smooth mustard brings a kick to otherwise mild and cuddly dishes. Mustard Seeds are used as a spice, can be roasted until they pop or simply consumed. They are harvested from mid-February to mid-April and called Rai in Hindi.
