A part of the Brassica family and related to Brussels sprouts, broccoli and cabbage, the mustard is a tall Mediterranean plant that grows 5- to 6 1/2-foot tall. It bears bright yellow flowers and its pods contain up to 20 tiny and flavorful seeds.

Mustard seeds have been around since almost 5,000 years. They’re known to have numerous benefits since they’re low in calories and high in nutritional value and have a lot of antibacterial and antiseptic qualities. These two mentions of mustard seeds illustrate the importance it has in our human history.

From the Buddhist tradition: Kisa Gotami, wife of the wealthy Savatthi, became distraught after losing her only child. With every ounce of her being in grief she became desperate and asked if anyone could help her. An old man told her to go see the Buddha. The Buddha said he could bring her child back to life, but first she needed to bring him a mustard seed from a family where no one had died. She went from house to house to house, and was unsuccessful in finding a family who hadn’t suffered the loss of a loved one. This led her to realize that no one escapes mortality. She went back to the Buddha who comforted and taught her the truth, which led her into the first stage of enlightenment.

And from the Christian tradition: He said, “How will we liken the Kingdom of God? Or with what parable will we illustrate it? It’s like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, though it is less than all the seeds that are on the earth, yet when it is sown, grows up, and becomes greater than all the herbs, and puts out great branches, so that the birds of the sky can lodge under its shadow.”

— Mark 4:30–32, World English Bible

In both traditions, the mustard seed represents a larger issue that stems from something tiny. It is a support for anyone in need.
