Description :
Mustard has a pungent, biting flavor. It is a warming spice. Jesus immortalized mustard when he compared the power of faith, even if only as tiny as a mustard seed.
In India mustard is cultivated in Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Bengal & Punjab.
Unlike most aromatic spices, ground mustard has no aroma when dry. It must be moistened for about 10 minutes to develop its sharp, hot, tangy flavor.
