Mustard seed whole

Everyone knows mustard in a jar, but what exactly do you do with our organic mustard seeds? You can use them perfectly for seasoning marinades, pickling, cooking and frying. They also make a great addition to soups and stews. A little tip: If you crush the whole mustard seeds and add them to a salad dressing with vinegar and oil, they will develop their full aroma.

Mustard seeds are old hands on the spice market. They have been used for seasoning for thousands of years. Romans and Greeks already knew their use and also in the Bible they have one or the other appearance. Incidentally, their pungency has a very practical advantage for the mustard plant: it is supposed to protect the mustard from predators in particular. Clever, isn't it?
