Black mustard seeds, the spiciest of its yellow and brown counterparts, give a spicy, aromatic rustic taste and fragrance to any dish.
Black mustard seeds are used both whole or ground to add a fiery flavour to food, a flavour that softens to a nuttier taste when dry-fried.
Mustard seeds abound in phytonutrient compounds that are particularly effective in fighting gastrointestinal cancer, and are an excellent source of selenium and magnesium.
