Description: 1,000 Black Mustard Seeds Garden Heirloom Non-GMO Free Shipping Brassica nigra, or black mustard, is an annual plant cultivated for its dark-brown-to-black seeds, which are commonly used as a spice. It is native to tropical regions of North Africa, temperate regions of Europe, and parts of Asia. More than 2,000 years ago, the plant was used as a condiment; it was mentioned by the Roman author Columella in the 1st century A.D. The plant leaves were also pickled in vinegar. In 13th century France the seeds were ground and used. They were mixed with partially fermented grape juice to create "moût-ardent" (or burning must, "must" meaning unfermented grape juice). This became later "moutarde",] now called mustard in English. Mustard seeds have been highly prized both as a medicinal as well as culinary spice for many years. The earliest reference to mustard dates back to 500 BC in early writings from India. Black Mustard Seeds give a pleasant, complex flavor to spice blends, and are often used in Dijon mustards and whole seed deli mustards.
