Mustard has a pungent, biting flavour. It is a warming spice. Jesus
immortalized mustard when he compared the power of faith, even if only as tiny as a
mustard seed. |

In India mustard is cultivated in Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Bengal &
Punjab.
Unlike most aromatic spices, ground mustard has no aroma when dry. It must be moistened
for about 10 minutes to develop its sharp, hot, tangy flavour. |
