Mustard Seeds
• Mustard seeds, both white and brown, are nearly globular in shape, finely pitted, odourless when whole, and pungent tasting.
• Whole mustard seeds have a mild aromatic nutty taste if you do not bite into them.
• You can only feel the actual taste of the seeds if you bite into them or make them into a powder or paste.
• This is where the taste becomes pungent and strong.
• The closest description of the taste is with wasabi and horseradish.
