Wild Mustard Flowers

White Mustard Flowers- Sinapis Alba

My favourite new find- spicy flowers! These are absolutely awesome because not only do they add a mustard-y heat to dressings, sandwiches, mashed potato, boiled new potatoes, salads and soups meanwhile making an excellent garnish, but they can be used to replace mustard in a lot of recipes. 

For this you can use any edible brassica flower though, I recommend looking for these if you are in the UK as they are abundant: 

Black Mustard Brassica Nigra

Sea Cabbage Brassice Oleracea

White Mustard Sinapis Alba

Sea Raddish/Sea Kale Krambe Maritima

Rapeseed Brassica Napus

These are not inclusive of cultivated plants such as:

 Rocket/arugula Eruca Sativa

Raddish Raphanus Sativus

Horseraddish Armoracia Rusticana 

Kohlrabi Brassica Oleracea 

Turnip Brassica Rapa

Which you can also use if you are growing them in your garden, an excellent way to make sure you utilise every part of the plant.
