A: Grinding or crushing releases more heat and flavour, but whole seeds still add character in cooking.

Q: Why is short contact important for poultices? A: Mustard can be a strong skin irritant, so brief contact helps reduce the risk of irritation. Q: Can I toast the seeds? A: Yes. Light toasting can deepen aroma in cooking, but avoid burning as it can become harsh.
