Mustard seed size question


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Today, while preparing to make mustard, I discovered that there are small brown seeds and larger brown seeds in my cabinet.  I'm new to mustard making, and have only used the larger seeds once before.  Is there any heat or flavor difference between the two sizes? Do they, in some way, need to be treated differently? Or are they interchangeable, with size being the only difference and consideration? Tks.

It took me all weekend but I finally found this article. It seems that there is quite a difference in flavor between large and small.

Unfortunately that site is trying to tell me I need to "scan my system."  I would stay away from it.  Is there another link you can share?

You're right to be suspicious. I tried it and it told me to confirm that I wasn't robot and then wanted to send me messages. Unfortunately I don't have another link. It took me ages to find this information.

I should add that having read the article, the upshot is that the larger mustard grains are Milder then the small ones.

First, thanks.for the link. The information is very helpful and will save me hours of experimenting while opening new doors for exploration.

 

I've no problem with the link other than it's not secure  but my AV program has taken care of that for me.⁷
