Mustard (Brassica nigra) is described in Matthew 13:31 as “the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.”
Matthew 17:20 “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”
Mustard is a bit confusing to some.
When we spread mustard on a sandwich we seldom stop to think of it as being a garden green that can be cooked like turnip greens or used as salad greens.
The entire plant is useful…the flowers and leaves for cooking and for salads. The seeds for sauces and spreads.
Those who juice or go the smoothie route…don’t forget the mustard.
Green, right from the garden with a sweet apple…yummy!
Mustard greens have a peppery flavor and add spice to salads that tend to be bland.
Medicinally it is used for many things…one being inflammation and pain.
