Can dry mustard be substituted for mustard seed when canning pickles? How much is used? Yes, dry mustard can safely be used as a substitute for mustard seed. However, it may make the brine cloudier than mustard seed and may alter the flavor. 1 teaspoon mustard seeds = 1 teaspoons dry mustard. This substitution is most likely for use in foods and in making mustard vs. being used to flavor a brine.
Black mustard seeds have the most pungent taste, while white mustard seeds, which are actually yellow in color, are the most mild and are the ones used to make American yellow mustard. Brown mustard, which is actually dark yellow in color, has a pungent acrid taste and is the type used to make Dijon mustard. You can easily make your own mustard condiment by first macerating the seeds in wine, vinegar or water. 2  Grind them into a smooth paste, adding herbs and spices such as tarragon, turmeric, garlic, pepper, paprika or any others that you prefer to give your homemade mustard its own unique taste.
