Black Mustard Seeds 100g

Pharma Germania Natural Products Black Mustard Seeds are whole dried seeds of Brassica nigra, commonly known as Black Mustard.

Black Mustard has a long history of culinary use and is prized for its strong, pungent flavour. The whole seeds can be incorporated into spice blends, curries, pickles and other savoury dishes.

The seeds naturally contain glucosinolates, particularly sinigrin. When the seeds are crushed and exposed to water, enzymatic reactions can produce pungent mustard compounds, including allyl isothiocyanate.

In traditional herbal practice, Black Mustard has been used as a warming botanical and in external preparations such as mustard poultices. Because concentrated mustard preparations can strongly irritate or even damage the skin, external use requires considerable caution.

Why Choose Pharma Germania Black Mustard Seeds?

Black Mustard provides a versatile whole-seed ingredient suitable for both culinary and traditional herbal applications.

The seeds develop their characteristic pungency through naturally occurring glucosinolates. When crushed and moistened, sinigrin can be converted by the enzyme myrosinase into allyl isothiocyanate, one of the compounds responsible for mustard’s characteristic heat and aroma.

Whole Black Mustard Seeds are particularly useful in cooking, where they can be toasted, crushed or incorporated into dishes according to the recipe.
