Typically a mustard seed would come from two big shrubs which are called "Brassica Juncea", otherwise referred to as "Brown Mustard" and the "Brassica Hirta", otherwise known as "White Mustard". They are both native to Asia. Both of the plants produce bright yellow flowers containing small round seeds. Brown Mustard is always more pungent than White Mustard. Traditionally they would be used to enhance the flavor of meats, sauces, fish, fowl and even salad dressings. They are hot and spicey.
