Mustard seeds can be either black or brown, white or yellow and neither the seeds nor their crushed powder have any scent until liquid is added. Crushed mustard can be mixed into a paste with water, white wine or vinegar. Whole seeds used in boiled beets, cabbage, sauerkraut, pickling, chutneys. Powder is used in fish dishes, poultry dishes, meat dishes, devilled dishes, sauces, egg dishes, cheese dishes, mayonnaise, salad sauces.
Coriander which is known in Arabic and everyday Hebrew as cusbara is an herb but the seeds of the shrub are used as a spice. Especially popular in the cookery of the Mediterranean basin and Arabic world, whole seeds are used in pickled fish, curries and pickled vegetables. The ground seeds are used in soups, fish dishes, meat stews, curries, chicken dishes, sausage dishes, stuffings, lentil dishes, puddings and custards, cakes and Middle Eastern sweets.
Caraway seeds, which have a liquorice flavor, come from plants that grow in Holland, Germany and other parts of Northern Europe. The German name for caraway is kummel and it is from these seeds that the liquor of that name is made. Use whole seeds in dumplings for soups and stews, in meat stews, with liver, for goulash and with vegetables (cabbage, cauliflower, turnips, potatoes), in rye and other breads, biscuits and cookies, cheese, pickles. Use ground in stews, with vegetables (squash, beans, tomatoes, potato salad and chicory).

Use a mortar & pestle to crush your seeds.
I mostly use caraway in tomato based dishes & breads and do not crush them, al though you could.
If you can not get a hold of a mortar & pestle (baking shops) then use a rolling pin with the seeds encased in a baggie or saran wrap.

Mustard seed is good in potato salad
Coriandar is good in italian foods, in the basil family.
Caraway is good in saurkraut.
You can web search each spice and find out new ideas.

Well, they're all different, so have different uses. Caraway seeds can be used whole in German breads.
If you want to crush them, get the ol' coffee grinder out.

Toss them out if you don't use them regularly. If you come across a recipe that call for any of them try this. Put the amount you need on a coffee filter. Fold the filter over and use the back of a spoon to crush it. You have to press kind of hard but it works.

Go get a mortar & pestle...or a coffee grinder you will NOT use for coffee, just spices...or two bowls that fit together...

usually the spice row in the grocery store has that stuff already ground up,, if not there, then in the ethnic aisle they will have small bags for a dollar of the ground up spice
