What it is

Mustard seed is the small, round seed of the mustard plant. It is typically harvested when the plant's pods are dry. The seeds are then cleaned and dried before being used whole, ground, or as a paste.

Why it's used

Mustard seed is primarily used as a spice to add flavor and a pungent kick to foods. It is a key ingredient in mustard condiments, but also appears in pickles, relishes, salad dressings, and marinades.

Health notes

Mustard seed is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of various nutrients and compounds that are being studied for potential health benefits, though more research is needed. International bodies like EFSA have evaluated mustard seed and its components. Typical dietary intake is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Mustard seed is not one of the FDA's 9 major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
