Old beliefs have long been associated with this spice. Did you know in Germany it is said that if a bride sews mustard seeds into her wedding gown, she can be sure of “wearing the pants” in her family? … hmmm, worth a look…

Two places as different as Denmark and India illustrate even another tradition; They say that evil spirits can be kept out of a house if mustard seeds are strewn around it. … who knew?
