mustard seeds
Small yellow grains
Mustard seeds are the tiny round seeds of the mustard plant, used whole or ground to make the condiment mustard.
They come in yellow, brown, and black varieties, with darker seeds being more pungent.
In cooking, whole seeds are often fried in oil to release their nutty flavor.
The Biblical phrase faith like a mustard seed uses the seed's smallness to suggest that even minimal faith can accomplish great things.
