  Prepared mustard
  Use
  Mustard seeds, particularly the yellow ones, can also be ground into flour, and mixed to a thick paste with a little water to make the condiment mustard. The ground mustard powder is usually mixed with ordinary flour to reduce the strength of the resulting condiment.
  In the Indian subcontinent the seeds are often used whole, and are quickly fried in oil until they pop to impart a flavor to the oil.
  Cultivation
  Mustard seeds generally take 3-10 days to germinate if placed under the proper conditions, which include a cold atmosphere and relatively moist soil. Mature mustard plants grow into shrubs.
