Mustard Seed Whole, Brown Certified Organic 25 lb Bulk Box - Frontier
 

More robust than the familiar yellow mustard seed, brown mustard seed can be similarly used to flavor condiments, relishes, and pickles and to enliven everything from soups to casseroles. Its sharp aroma and fresh, pungent flavor work well in combination with other strong spices like chilies and black pepper.

Botanical Name: Brassica juncea (L.) Czeniak var. timida Tsen et Lee

Directions: Use mustard in any dish where you want to add heat. It's helpful to know that mustard doesn't become really hot until a non-acid liquid (preferably cold) is added to the seed. (Water will release the heat, but vinegar won't, for example.) The best way to fully release the flavor, then, is to mix the seed with warm water for about ten minutes before adding it to a recipe. To stop the development of the flavor, on the other hand, you can add an acidic liquid, like lemon juice, vinegar, or wine, to your recipe.
