Hot, brown mustard seeds that can be used whole or crushed
Brown mustard seeds have a sharp aromatic flavour that develops when the seeds are crushed and mixed with water, vinegar or other liquids. Coarsely crushed brown and yellow mustard seeds mixed in some water form the base for the classic Danish fish mustard marinade.
Caraway has been a staple spice in the European kitchen for several thousands of years, and with the new Nordic cuisine movement, this bittersweet spice has its renaissance. The closed-umbrella shaped, nutty seeds can be found growing wild in Denmark and are now immensely popular in bread, cheese, meat and vegetable dishes.
