How to Eat Uncooked Mustard Seeds
One pound of mustard seeds contains approximately 100,000 seeds. Although they are tiny, cooking is optional when eating mustard seeds. If you are adventurous, eating uncooked mustard seeds provides an intense bitter taste. Mustard seeds are normally cooked in oil to release the spicy properties of the mustard seeds. Two common types of mustard seeds are yellow mustard seeds and hot mustard seeds.

- Lemon juice
- Uncooked mustard seeds
- Blender
- Honey
- Glass jar
Instructions
-
Pour 8 oz. of distilled water in a large bowl. Mix the water with 6 oz. of lemon juice. The citric acid in the lemon juice helps in the preservation process.
