mustard seed
Small but mighty
A mustard seed is the tiny seed of the mustard plant, used as a spice and pressed for oil.
Because the seeds are small but grow into large plants, mustard seed appears in religious texts as a symbol of faith or potential: If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can move mountains.
