Let’s start with mustard, a condiment of a truly ancient pedigree. If you take a jar of mustard from your fridge and read the list of ingredients on the label, you’ll see it’s made mostly of mustard seeds, vinegar, salt and sugar.

Mustard seeds are, of course, the key ingredient, so let’s first say a few words about them.
