Mustard Seeds (Rai / Sarson)

Mustard seeds are small, round seeds available in yellow, brown, or black varieties, each with its own intensity of flavor. They are known for their pungent aroma and sharp, tangy bite when crushed or heated. These seeds are derived from the mustard plant and are often tempered in oil to release their nutty flavor. Used widely in Indian and global cuisines, mustard seeds also hold significance in traditional remedies and pickling practices.
