Product Details

About Hambleden:
Hambleden Herbs is a long established organic brand with a reputation for high quality products and efficient, friendly service. Their products have won many awards over the years, a recognition of the quality of the Soil Association certified organic herbs, spices, teas and tinctures which have always been their speciality.

Life for Hambleden Herbs began back in 1982 on an organic herb farm in the small village of Hambleden in the Oxford shire countryside. In 1985 our dried herb range was launched and at the time was the only certified organic range of dried herbs in the UK. With the launch of our organic herbal tea range 4 years later, Hambleden Herbs was fast becoming the brand of choice for the informed consumer.

As interest in organic ingredients increased demand soon outstripped available supply from the farm and the business had to look further a field to secure supply of top quality, certified, organic ingredients. This resulted in a new focus for the business, and a new company being set up to specialise in the sourcing and importing of raw materials. Although the two businesses now operate separately, they continue to use some of the same suppliers that they did 20 years ago, and still call on the wealth of expertise and knowledge of their old partner.

Today Hambleden Herbs continues to hold true to its values of “Purity, Vitality and Integrity”, using them to inspire new blends of teas, herbs and spices that will excite and awaken your senses.

Usage

If you want to keep the fiery taste of the mustard, add the seeds towards the end of the cooking process, but if you want something smoother, try following Southern Indian tradition by gently frying the seeds in butter. This gives the seeds a completely different nutty taste.

To make a deliciously simple chicken curry, fry the seeds in a little butter and mix with turmeric and some chilli powder before adding chicken and a little water; simmer until cooked. Take care when toasting or frying mustard seeds as the seeds will jump around the kitchen as they pop, so have a pan lid handy. They will turn bitter if they are allowed to burn so once they start to pop take them off the heat to blend in your other ingredients. Reference to the humble mustard seed appears in all major religions, demonstrating the importance and ubiquitous use of this spice.
