History of Mustard Seeds

Black and yellow mustard seeds have a rich history dating back to ancient civilizations. Native to the Mediterranean and parts of Asia, they were first prized by the Egyptians around 3000 BCE for both culinary and medicinal uses. The Greeks and Romans also revered mustard, with Pliny the Elder documenting its use in remedies and cooking.

Mustard seeds then spread to India, where they became central to curries, pickles, and spice blends. Black mustard, with its bold heat, and yellow mustard, with its milder tang, remain staples in Indian cuisine. They also influenced Eastern European and Mediterranean cooking, enriching stews, vinaigrettes, and preserved vegetables.

Traveling along trade routes, mustard seeds have left their mark on kitchens around the world. From ancient Egypt to modern kitchens, black and yellow mustard seeds continue to bring depth and complexity to dishes globally.
