Mustard Seeds - Spice

Seeds of yellow mustard have a smooth, nutty flavor. Whole, ground, or crushed mustard seeds are mixed with water, vinegar, lemon juice, wine, or other liquids, salt, and often other seasonings and spices. The result is a paste or sauce with a color that ranges from bright yellow to dark brown and a flavor that varies from sweet to spicy. It is used for soft mustards, and can be added to pickles.
