Yes the mustard sprouts I grew from actual mustard seeds! They taste just like mustard it is really weird, but, compared to all the rest of the flavors it wasn’t as pronounced as using prepared mustard spread. I usually grind these seeds to a powder then add cold water which starts a mustard reaction that makes it spicy like the sprouts, then add a bit of vinegar to stop that process and it is essentially the best mustard spread you can eat. The jar stuff is so wack lol.
Do the mustard greens offer the same kind of acidity/sharpness as prepared mustard?
No, the acidity in prepared mustard comes from vinegar.
Mustard greens actually refer to a few different species, each with its own flavor profile.
They often have a spicy, vegetal, and possibly metallic taste depending on your perception.

Awesome!
I use mustard powder a lot as a spice and do just buy yellow mustard, but I ought to start making it fresh.
There are lots of cool things one can do with fermenting mustard etc 🧪
