About Brown mustard seed
Brown mustard seeds are the small, round, brown-coated seeds of a mustard plant, used as a spice. They are hard and dry when whole, with a sharp, pungent flavour that is released more strongly when the seeds are crushed or ground. Their intensity can vary with handling and preparation.
The seeds are used whole in cooking, ground into powder, or incorporated into prepared mustard. Whole seeds, ground seed, and finished condiment are distinct forms; a condiment may include additional ingredients and processing. For nutrition comparisons, the edible form and whether the sample is plain seed or a prepared product should be identified.
