What it is

Mustard seed comes from the mustard plant, which is grown worldwide. The seeds are small, round, and can range in color from yellow to black. They are typically harvested and dried, and can be used whole, ground, or as a paste.

Why it's used

Mustard seed is primarily used as a spice to add a pungent, sharp flavor to foods. It is a key ingredient in mustard condiments and is also used in rubs, marinades, and spice blends. It is commonly found in salad dressings, deli salads, pickles, and relishes.

Health notes

Mustard seed is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. It is a source of various nutrients and compounds that may have health benefits, though research is ongoing. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated mustard and its derivatives, but do not set specific intake limits for typical dietary use. Some individuals may experience digestive upset from large amounts of mustard.

Allergen info

Mustard is considered one of the major food allergens by the FDA. People with a mustard allergy should avoid it.
