About Yellow mustard seed

Yellow mustard seed is the small, round seed of a mild mustard type, sold whole or ground. The seeds are pale yellow to beige and have a relatively mild, slightly nutty taste when whole; crushing or wetting them brings out a more pungent mustard flavour. The intensity depends on seed type and preparation.

Whole seeds are used in pickling, spice mixtures, and cooking, while ground seed is used in seasonings and prepared mustard. Mustard flour and prepared mustard are processed forms with different textures and may contain other ingredients. The name distinguishes these seeds from darker mustard seed types.
