Yellow Mustard Seeds (Brassica species) is a versatile annual herb cultivated for its seeds, leaves, and oil. Known for its sharp, tangy flavor and medicinal benefits, mustard has been used for centuries as both a condiment and a remedy. Three main species—Brassica hirta (white/yellow mustard), Brassica juncea (brown mustard), and Brassica nigra (black mustard)—offer culinary and therapeutic value. The yellow mustard variety stands out for its mild taste and wide usage in condiments, pickles, and spice blends.
The name “mustard” originally referred to the condiment, derived from mixing ground mustard seeds with must (unfermented grape juice). Revered by the ancient Chinese, Greeks, and Romans, mustard became a staple spice across cultures and centuries. Even royalty, like King Louis XI, ensured it was never missing from their meals.
