About Spices, mustard seed, ground
White mustard (Sinapis alba), sometimes called yellow mustard, is an annual plant grown for the pale, round seeds behind the familiar mild yellow table mustard. The seeds are larger and far less pungent than brown or black mustard seeds, with a gentle, tangy heat that develops when they are crushed and mixed with liquid. White mustard seed is a good source of healthy fats, protein, fiber, and minerals like selenium.
Ground with vinegar, water, and turmeric, it becomes the bright yellow mustard squeezed onto hot dogs and sandwiches, and the whole seeds are a key pickling spice, adding gentle warmth to brines, sauces, and spice blends. The young leaves can also be eaten as peppery salad greens. Whole seeds keep their flavor far longer than ground mustard, so store white mustard seed in an airtight container in a cool, dark place.
