Let’s cook with it → Invent something with it

What it is for

They give the character. Same technique, same ingredient, a different trio of spices — and the dish moves to another cuisine entirely. Most of their aroma molecules are volatile.

Where it catches you out

Volatile ones go in last, sturdy ones first. Mint and basil after the heat; bay and cinnamon right at the start.

The knack

Dry mustard seed and prepared mustard are different; the sauce also contains water, vinegar, salt and sometimes sugar.

Storage and health

How to keep it, and who it suits.

Keeping it

Keep in an airtight container in a cool, dry, dark cupboard for 2-3 years.

Gluten-free

Plain mustard seed contains no gluten grain.

Allergen: MUSTARD
