Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
- Q: What is the difference between yellow and black mustard seeds?
- A: Yellow mustard seeds have a milder, smoother, and slightly tangier flavor profile with less sharp heat, whereas black or brown seeds (rai) are sharper and more pungent. Yellow seeds are fantastic when you want a gentler warmth and a bright golden color.
- Q: How should I use mustard seeds in Indian cooking?
- A: They are most commonly used in tempering (tadka). Heat a little oil in a pan, add the yellow mustard seeds, and wait for them to pop and sizzle before adding your vegetables, lentils, or curry bases. This unlocks their signature nutty aroma.
- Q: Are Natco Yellow Mustard Seeds gluten-free and vegan?
- A: Yes, pure mustard seeds are 100% plant-based, vegan-friendly, and naturally gluten-free. (Please check the allergen advisory if you have severe cross-contamination sensitivities).
