Directions
These tiny brown seeds are best when sauteed with complementary spices like turmeric, cumin, and coriander. Just when the seeds begin to pop, add in your chopped vegetables for a flavorful stir-fry. Brown mustard seeds are one of the ingredients in Kitchari Spice Mix and they are a great addition to dals and beans, as well as soups and stews. When ground, the pungent and earthy flavor of brown mustard seeds adds a delicious complexity to spice blends, marinades, salad dressings, and homemade sauces. Suggested use: Heat 1/4 teaspoon in an oil of your choice until the seeds begin to pop. Remove from heat, use as desired.
Warnings
If you are pregnant, nursing, taking medications, or have a medical condition, please consult with your health care practitioner prior to the use of this product.
