Organic Black Mustard Seeds

Black Mustard is a popular condiment made from the seeds of the mustard plant.

This plant is native to the Mediterranean region and related to nutrient-rich vegetables like broccoli, cabbage, and Brussels sprouts. Both its seeds and leaves are edible, making it a versatile addition to your dishes.

Aside from its culinary uses, mustard has a history of use as a remedy in traditional medicine dating as far back as ancient Greek and Roman civilizations — and perhaps for good reason.

Modern science is starting to link mustard to health benefits ranging from lower blood sugar levels to increased protection from infections and disease.

Mustard is most commonly eaten as a condiment, but mustard seeds and leaves are two additional ways to reap this plant’s potential health benefits.

These range from lower blood sugar levels and reduced inflammation to increased protection against infection. The compounds in mustard may even offer some protection against certain types of cancer.

Though promising, keep in mind that many of these potential benefits are supported by small studies that were mostly performed on animals and used extracts rather than mustard seeds, leaves, or paste
