Black Mustard Seed for Cooking, Spice Blends, Pickles

Black mustard seeds, derived from the Brassica nigra plant, are small, round seeds with a pungent, spicy flavor. Commonly used in cooking, especially in Indian, Middle Eastern, and European cuisines, they add heat and depth to dishes. When heated, the seeds release a strong, mustardy aroma, making them essential in spice blends and pickles.
