About this product
Think of this as a tempering spice first. Whole black mustard seeds pop in hot oil, which is the classic opening move for South Indian tadkas, fish curries and oil infusions. If your weeknight rotation includes dal, vegetable curries or a big batch of something to reheat all week, one pouch covers many pots. The 4 oz size suits a first try. The 12 oz and 2 lb sizes suit regular cooks. The 5 lb size suits anyone prepping in volume.
On flavor, Spicy Pantry describes these seeds (Brassica nigra) as sharper and more pungent than yellow mustard seeds, with bolder heat. That makes them a good fit when you want the seasoning to stand out against rich or spicy dishes. Each pouch is a resealable stand-up kraft pouch, so it's easy to scoop from and close again between cooking sessions. The seeds are Non-GMO.
How to use and store
- Toast whole spices 30–60 seconds in a dry pan before grinding for deeper flavor.
- Keep the pouch sealed in a cupboard, not above the stove.
