Can you use mustard seed to make powder?

Here's how to make mustard seed powder:

1. Toasting (optional): Toasting the seeds for a few minutes in a dry skillet over medium heat can bring out their flavor and aroma. Just be careful not to burn them!

2. Grinding: You can use a spice grinder, coffee grinder, or mortar and pestle to grind the seeds into a fine powder.

3. Sieving (optional): For a finer powder, you can sieve the ground seeds through a fine-mesh sieve.

Storing: Store your mustard seed powder in an airtight container in a cool, dark place.
