What it is

Dijon mustard is a type of mustard made from mustard seeds, verjuice (the unripened juice of grapes), white wine, and salt. It originated in the city of Dijon, France. The seeds are ground into a paste, which is then mixed with the other ingredients.

Why it's used

Dijon mustard is primarily used as a condiment and flavoring agent. Its sharp, tangy taste adds depth to a variety of dishes. Manufacturers use it in salad dressings, marinades, sauces, and as a spread for sandwiches.

International bodies like JECFA have evaluated mustard and its components. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects at typical dietary intake levels.
