Yellow Mustard Seed – 16 oz. | Bulk | Spice Jungle

Yellow Mustard Seed – 16 oz. Yellow mustard seeds have an old world romantic flavor to them; acrid and musky, but behind it all are hints of white wine and tarragon. When you aren’t looking it sits in the cupboard reading Charlotte Brontë.   Yellow Mustard Seeds have a sharp and pungent, but balanced taste and aroma that is released when toasted or ground. Whole Yellow Mustard seeds are used to make vinaigrette dressings, marinades, pickles, and chutneys. Toast and cool, then combine with other Indian spices to make a curry or other Indian cuisine. All Natural, Gluten-Free, Kosher Parve, Non-GMO   Yellow mustard seeds are fantastic for pickling, rubs, spice blends, or for making your own homemade mustard. Mustard seeds come in three varieties: yellow, brown, and black. Yellow mustard seeds (also called white mustard seeds since the sandy color can go either way) are used primarily in Europe and western Asia, whereas brown and black are used in India and the countries surrounding it. Flavor-wise they all differ greatly. Yellow seeds are mellow with less pungency, and have an initial floral sweetness to them. Brown seeds are a bit horseradish-y with an earthy flavor (though sometimes possess enough heat to burn down a barn). Black seeds are particularly pungent and hot, the impact of biting into one is enough to bring about a nuclear winter. Whole seeds have little aroma, and have to be ground for the flavors to awaken. The enzyme myrosinase is what gives mustard its acrid pungency and penetrating heat. However, it’s a fickle enzyme. Water must be added for the enzyme’s flavor to bloom and temperature matters. Cold water will ensure a mustard paste that is intensely hot, bitter, acrid, and pungent (possibly to the point of it being inedible if the water is ice cold). Warm water will mellow it out and hot water will negate the flavor all together. Recommended Applications Whole Mustard seeds are used to make vinaigrette dressings, marinades, pickles, and chutneys. Toast and cool, then combine with other Indian spices to make a curry or other Indian cuisine. Basic Preparation Ready to use as is, no preparation is necessary. May grind fresh prior to adding to recipes, or toasted prior to grinding. Ingredients Yellow mustard seeds.

Coriander Seed (Extra Bold) | Bulk | Spice Jungle

Coriander Seed (Extra Bold) If there was a spice you might consider refined it might very well be coriander seed; all wire glasses and leather patches on a tweed jacket. It got high marks in Latin and Mathematics in prep school, but it wasn’t opposed to sneaking out for a few beers with a wedge of orange plonked in the glass.   Coriander seeds are warm, nutty and spicy with an essence reminiscent of citrus peel and sage Can be ground in a pepper or spice mill prior to adding to the desired recipe All Natural, Gluten-Free, Kosher Parve, Non-GMO   Coriander seed is one of the sweeter spices out there, which is odd considering the leaf of the coriander plant – what we call cilantro – is often called spicy and herbal. It is often described as sweet and floral with hints of white pepper and Navel orange. You might call it cultivated, both in agricultural and worldly senses. The flavors make coriander seeds a popular spice across all oceans, from Portugal to Mexico, to India. It’s also become a popular flavor in beer. For clever cocktails, make a simple syrup spiked with toasted coriander seed. Recommended Applications Coriander seed, a common ingredient in Indian spice blends, is also often used in Middle Eastern lamb and beef stews. Other great applications of this ingredient include soups, stews, stir-fry, pickling spices, curry, or melted with butter to add to fish, poultry, or other meats. Basic Preparation Ready to use as is for marinades, stews, and soups. Coriander seeds can also be ground in a pepper or spice mill prior to adding to the desired recipe. Toasting coriander seed is a great way to release flavor and should be added near the end of cooking for best results. Ingredients Dried coriander seeds.
