As early as the 8th century, mustard was mentioned by the Romans during the time of Charlemagne. For centuries, mustard, along with horseradish, was the only seasoning agent in Europe. The origin of the plant can also be found here in Southern Europe. Like almost all of our spices, it has a strengthening and healing effect on us. Whether for a cold or as an anti-inflammatory and soothing agent, it helps us with everyday ailments with its natural antibiotic effect. It is important not to exceed 50 degrees when grinding the whole seeds. Black mustard seeds are the spiciest mustard, and as a versatile ingredient, we use them several times a day, often unconsciously, in the kitchen. We source our mustard seeds from Morocco.
