Black mustard is an annual herb of the cruciferous family, native to the genus Cabbage. The seeds are small, round, and reddish-brown, imparting a characteristic sharp and pungent taste with horseradish notes to the product.
In cooking, black mustard is widely used as a seasoning for meat dishes, minced meat, soups, cabbage dishes, and cheeses. Thanks to its rich taste, it perfectly complements chicken and other types of meat, and adds depth to the aromas of marinades and sauces.
Mustard seeds are rich in beneficial substances: oleic, linolenic, erucic, palmitic, and oleic amino acids, selenium, manganese, phosphorus, magnesium, copper, vitamin B1, and omega-3 fatty acids. These components make mustard a valuable ingredient for maintaining digestion, and also help with bronchial asthma and cough. The product should be stored in tightly closed containers in a cool, dark, and dry place to preserve its aroma and properties.
