Whole mustard seeds are important in South Asian cuisine where generous quantities are added to the oil or butter in which vegetables are to be fried or which will be used to begin the process of making a curry. Since mirosinase, the enzyme that produces the bitingly hot, sinus-opening impact of mustard, is only activated by water, this technique produces a delicious, slightly piquant, nutty flavour rather than heat. Mustard seeds explode in hot oil - hold a lid above the pan to prevent them from flying all over the kitchen!

"The definitive location for all of your exotic cuisine needs, the South China Seas Trading Company does an excellent job of stocking unique items from all over Asia, Latin America, India and the Caribbean."

"Excellent spot to find otherwise obscure ingredients. I found long peppercorns after a year of searching and real wasabi!"

"I've been shopping at South China Seas for over 20 years and I'm always happy with the selection of products . . . I can always find the sauces and ingredients that I need for my favourite Chinese, Japanese, Indian, and Latin American recipes."
