What can I use whole mustard seeds for?

Whole mustard seeds add a bold, tangy flavor and a little crunch to dishes. They're commonly used in pickling brines, spice rubs for meats, curries, homemade mustard, and even salad dressings when toasted or bloomed in oil.

Are these brown or yellow mustard seeds?

These are yellow mustard seeds - milder in flavor than brown or black varieties, and perfect for traditional American pickling, mustards, and spice blends.

How do I make mustard using these seeds?

Soak the seeds in vinegar and water overnight, then blend with your choice of seasonings to make a coarse-ground mustard. Add honey or garlic for custom flavor.

Are these seeds good for pickling?

Absolutely. Mustard seeds are a classic pickling spice. Add a teaspoon or two to your brine to bring flavor and character to pickles, beets, or even pickled eggs.

Should I toast the seeds before using?

Toasting is optional but recommended for extra flavor. Just heat in a dry pan over medium heat for a minute or two until fragrant-they'll pop slightly, so keep an eye on them!

How long do mustard seeds stay fresh?

When stored in a cool, dry place in an airtight container, whole mustard seeds stay fresh and flavorful for up to 3-4 years.

Are these mustard seeds non-GMO or organic?

These are standard McCormick-brand mustard seeds and are not labeled organic or non-GMO. McCormick maintains rigorous quality and safety standards in all their spices.
