    Field mustard (brassica rapa) was cultivated to brassica rapa oleifera for canola oil production. There are a few other brassica species also used for canola oil. There, saved the know-it-alls some angry typing 😉

    Ive made mustard a few times and learned from a different chef that adding cold water makes mustard spicy. If you use hot or warm liquids it can deactivate the spiciness.
    So if you like your mustard milder use warmer liquids. Or add honey and a spoon of sour cream when you go to use it.
    Using a good porter or stout (like a Guinness) to start your mustard off and then add a good malt vinegar makes a killer dark grainy mustard for rubin sandwiches or even on slow roasted pork.

      Brassicas are actually a 3rd type of spiciness. That bitterness is also amazing health wise. Look up makking broccoli sprouts for this reason.

    For those of you who may be wondering: the jar they are using to store the mustard is made by a company named Weck. The jar and lid are made of glass and use the simple gasket held by two light-weight metal clamps. They come in a variety of sizes and shapes for different uses. I've found them for purchase at The Container Store as well as on line. Great for storing stuff in the fridge and easy to clean and maintain.

      You can grow your own herbs if you have a window. Or get a grow light. You can also use cheap soda bottle hanging planters for multiple plants. And Central Park might have some things you can forage and use for various things - dandelions, mullein, nasturtium, broad (or narrow) leaf plantain, etc. You'd be surprised what you can find around you if you look around. You might also see if there's a "Foraging NYC" group of some nature. Or get some friends together and arrange for x-number of tomato plants at friend 1's place, x-number of herb pots at friend 2's, x-number of lettuce plants at friend 3's, or something like that. Then share your harvests.

    If anyone's wondering how the water makes it spicy:
    The actual spice in mustard comes from compounds known as Isothiocyanates. However, in the plant, those are connected to sugar molecules, with the resulting molecule being called a glucosinolate. The plant has an enzyme that can split the glucosinolate into the sugar molecule and the spicy isothiocyanate through hydrolysis, however, the plant stores the enzyme separately from the glucosinolate (which is why the grinding is required) and the reaction requires water to happen.
    This is a defense mechanism by the plant, as anything chewing on the seeds while trying to eat them would cause the reaction to start.
    Another case of humans deciding that a plant trying to prevent you from eating it just tastes good.

      UA-cam videos! Google it. But honestly, it's one of the easiest plants in the world to identify. Once you see some close-up photos, you'll understand. The flowers before they go to seed are gorgeous, and also edible!
