Mustard comes in three varieties – yellow is the most common, brown and black, which is much rarer to find than the first two. Brown mustard seeds start off with a slightly bitter taste but then grow hotter and more aromatic. They are not only more pungent than the more popular Yellow Mustard Seed but they pack a little bit of heat, coming in at around a 3 on a heat scale of 10.
Brown mustard seeds are used to make a variety of the grainer mustards. As Brown mustard grows more abundantly it has increasingly been substituted for black mustard seeds in Indian cooking. Native to the Himalayas our Organic Brown Mustard Seed is cultivated on Canada.
We also carry an excellent Organic Yellow Mustard Seed that is also sourced from Canada. Helpful hints: Use yellow mustard seeds for pickling mixtures and in marinades and use brown and black mustard seeds in Indian cooking.
