Yellow mustard seeds are the small, round seeds of the mustard plant, Brassica hirta/Sinapis alba. These seeds are known for their mild, slightly sweet flavor and are commonly used in cooking and pickling. When whole, they add texture and a burst of flavor to dishes. Yellow mustard seeds are often used in Indian, Mediterranean, and Middle Eastern cuisines, as well as in pickling recipes around the world.

In addition to their culinary uses, yellow mustard seeds are believed to have several health benefits. They are rich in antioxidants, which help protect the body from oxidative stress and inflammation. Mustard seeds are also a good source of nutrients like selenium, magnesium, and phosphorus. Some studies suggest that mustard seeds may have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, and may help lower cholesterol levels.
