Mustard Seeds Yellow 80g
Our Yellow Mustard Seeds offer a milder, slightly tangy flavour compared to brown mustard seeds. They are the classic choice for making traditional American and European mustards, pickling, and adding a subtle pungency to dressings, meats, and relishes.
The Classic Seed for Mild Mustards and Pickling
Yellow Mustard Seeds are the quintessential choice for creating the familiar, bright yellow mustard that graces hot dogs and sandwiches worldwide. While still pungent, their flavour is milder and less sharp than brown mustard seeds, with a distinctive tangy note that mellows beautifully when ground into condiments or soaked in brines.
These versatile seeds are a cornerstone of deli-style pickling and a key ingredient for adding a gentle, tangy kick and appealing texture to a wide range of dishes, from salads to roasted meats.
