Yellow mustard seeds are the most commonly used type of mustard seeds. They have a pungent and spicy bite, as do all mustard seeds, but are milder than their close relative, the brown mustard seeds.
Mustard seeds are found in spice mixes for meats, seafood, and legumes. The seed can be fried in ghee to provide a milder nutty flavor. The seeds are ground with vinegar and other spices to make the condiment of the same name. Mustard seed is also a common pickling spice.
