About Mustard
Mustard is made using seeds from the mustard plant, which is part of the Brassica plant family – one that also produces greens like cabbage and kale. Mustard seeds contain a lot of vitamins and minerals that are extremely beneficial for your body.
However, as there’s only a minuscule amount of mustard seeds in the condiment, it doesn’t necessarily give you all of the goodness that mustard seeds have to offer.
There are quite a few different types of mustard and each has its own story and unique flavor. These include:
- Dijon Mustard: Made with ground brown and white seeds and mixed with salt and white wine or white wine vinegar. It originated in Dijon, France, but is widely enjoyed all around the world. Perfect for: Salad Dressings
- English Yellow Mustard: Made with brown and white seeds that are ground into flour. Perfect for: Cheese Sauce
- American Yellow Mustard: Made from grounded white seeds and mixed with vinegar and spices. Perfect for: Hot Dogs
- Whole Grain Mustard: Made with whole brown and white seeds and mixed with vinegar, brown sugar, white wine, and spices. Perfect for: Vinagerettes and Dressings
- Spicy Brown Mustard: Made with grounded brown and white seeds and mixed with distilled vinegar and salt. Perfect for: Beef Sandwiches
