Black mustard seeds are the small, round seeds obtained from the black mustard plant (Brassica nigra), a member of the Brassicaceae family. Native to Southern Europe and Asia, these seeds have a strong and pungent flavor, adding a distinctive sharpness to dishes.
In culinary applications, black mustard seeds are a common ingredient in Indian, Pakistani, and Bangladeshi cuisines. They are often used as a spice to temper hot oil or ghee at the beginning of cooking, releasing their nutty and peppery taste. The seeds are a key component in various spice blends and pickling recipes. Black mustard seeds can also be ground to make mustard powder, which is the basis for preparing mustard condiments.
