Retail – HEERA BLACK MUSTARD SEEDS – 1KG

Description

Heera Black Mustard Seeds, a versatile whole spice that pops in hot oil for a nutty, warming lift.

This is a 1kg pack of whole black mustard seeds from Heera. The 1KG size is a proper bulk bag for kitchens that temper spices daily, whether at home or across a busy service. Whole seeds keep their aroma far longer than ground spice, so a large bag stays useful for a long time when stored well.

Key Features

• Generous 1kg pack, ideal for regular tempering and pickling
• Small dark seeds that crackle and pop when they hit hot oil
• Adds a warm, nutty, mildly sharp note to dals, curries and vegetables
• A cornerstone of South Indian tarka and many mustard style pickles
• Whole spice format that holds flavour well when the bag is kept sealed

Uses

or Cooking: Heat a little oil, add the seeds and wait for them to pop, then add curry leaves, onions or your other aromatics. This tempering step, often called tarka, seasons the oil and carries flavour through the dish. The seeds also go into pickles, spice blends and dressings.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry, dark cupboard and reseal the bag tightly after each use. For a large bag, decant a working amount into a smaller jar and keep the rest sealed.
