Mustard seed is a playful spice—something that will make most any dish more interesting. Its fresh, clean aroma and sharp, tangy flavor are perfect for cutting through rich ingredients like beef and butter sauce. We love to throw it into a beef or chicken braise with wine. It’s also a must-have for making pickles and relishes. But mustard seed works equally well to kick up the flavor of mild ingredients such as potatoes, legumes, chicken and seafood. Add it to the dressing for potato, cucumber or chicken salad. Use it in rubs, marinades and sauces, and include it in curries and bean dishes. Get creative!

  • Product uses :
  •  You can thank mustard seed for its sharp, tangy flavor. Mustard comes in many forms—Dijon, whole grain, honeyed, hot—but it all begins with mustard seed.
  • Mustard seed is essential for sharp, zingy flavor in anything pickled—dill, sweet or bread and butter pickles, corn relish, green tomato relish, pickled green beans or cauliflower. We love it in homemade chutney, too!
  • Any spice blend, rub or marinade is a good home for mustard seed. Try grinding it with cumin seed, oregano and garlic as a rub for roast beef. We like to toast the mustard and cumin seeds lightly in a dry frying pan to mellow their flavor before adding them to the mix.
