These hard, brown seeds are the fruit of Brassica nigra, a plant native to the Middle East distantly related to broccoli and brussels sprouts. The use of brown mustard seeds is documented in Sanskrit writings dating at least 5,000 years old. Mustard seed continues to be one of the most traded spices in the world today.

FAQ
How old are these spices?
We purchase what we need every year right after the spices are harvested. These spices are as fresh as you can get. They are not sitting in a warehouse for multiple years. The oldest spices we carry will be one year old compared to the commodity market which warehouses spices for 10+ years before selling them to you.
Are these spices certified organic?
Unfortunately we do not have any certifications at this time but most of our spices are organically grown and all of them are non gmo. Each ingredient can be traced back to its origin. Email support@spicetribe.com for any questions.
