Sapa corner
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
How are you doing today? Have you ever seen black mustard seeds?
In Sapa, people often cultivate black mustard plants. This sort of plant bears black mustard seeds.
Black mustard seeds usually have a dark brown colour. The seeds are smaller than sesame seeds, and look like tiny balls. Even so, these tiny seeds can sprout from soil and grow into black mustard plants with beautiful yellow flowers in large fields.
Besides being used for cultivation, people also use black mustard seeds as a spice, as the seeds have a pungent and spicy taste. Black mustard seeds are one of the main ingredients used to make mustard sauce. In Vietnamese, we commonly call this kind of sauce “Mù tạt”.
It’s such a big surprise for me to learn that black mustard seeds have so many benefits. Though the seeds are tiny, they are so useful. I’m really impressed by them.
Have a happy day.
Cheers,
An An

Thank you, An An, for sharing.
Beautiful yellow mustard flowers and black mustard seeds.
Because Jesus said that: “Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” (Matthew 17:20), now many mustard seeds are used as a reminder of our faith.
Some examples here.
Have a faith day.

Wow, I love your examples. So creative! Mustard seeds in jewelry as a symbol of faith.
May our faith in Jesus and Buddha continue to grow deeper and deeper every day.
Have a lovely day.
