Mustard Tincture & Alcohol-Free Extract

Mustard (Sinapis alba), the white or yellow mustard, is an annual of the mustard family, Brassicaceae, native to the Mediterranean and grown as a seed crop in Canada, Europe and the United States. It grows 30-80 cm tall with bristly, lobed leaves and loose spikes of bright yellow four-petaled flowers, followed by short, bristly pods with a flat beak. The round, pale yellow seeds are milder than brown or black mustard, with a sharp heat that develops only when ground and wetted, and are the base of American yellow mustard. We extract the dried seed.
