Mustard Seed is one of the common spices traded in the world today. It is commonly known as raai' in India.
The mustard plant is cultivated widely throughout the world. It is a winter crop and does well in temperate climates. The plant reaches about 4-5 feet in height and bears golden yellow coloured flowers. Once these flowers grow and mature, they form a pod in which the tiny, round mustard seeds are encased.
The largest producers of mustard seed in the world are India, Pakistan, Hungary, Canada, USA, and Great Britain.
There are three species of mustard known for its condiment value - Black Mustard (Brassica Nigra), Brown Mustard (Brassica juncea) and Pale Yellow or White Mustard (Brassica hirta). Black Mustard has the most pungent taste while the White or Pale Yellow Mustard is the mildest one with a balanced and not- too- intense flavour. The Brown Mustard also has a pungent, acrid taste, but less so than Black Mustard.
Black and Brown Mustard seeds are mostly used in Asia, especially in India, whereas Yellow Mustard seeds are widely used in America.
