They pop when you bite them. Not sure what they do flavor wise. I like them.

I suppose they make it taste mustardy. To be serious though, I suppose it gives a short lived more intense Mustard hit as opposed to a background flavour if you added a mustard powder or ground mustard seeds throughout the product.

I just lurve whole seed in things - whole coriander in pickles that gives an intense hit for just a few seconds Mmm...

Go for it!

It also has preservative properties. Ever seen mustard moulding?
