What it is

Mustard is a condiment made from the seeds of a mustard plant. The seeds are ground and mixed with water, vinegar, and spices to create a paste or sauce. Different varieties of mustard plants and preparation methods result in a wide range of flavors and textures.

Why it's used

Mustard is primarily used to add flavor to foods. Its pungent, spicy, and sometimes tangy taste makes it a popular addition to sandwiches, meats, salad dressings, and marinades. It can also act as an emulsifier in sauces and dressings.

Health notes

Mustard is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is not typically associated with significant health concerns at the levels found in food. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated mustard and its components.

Allergen info

Mustard seeds are not among the FDA's 9 major allergens. However, some individuals can have mustard allergies. Mustard is typically gluten-free, but cross-contamination can occur in processing facilities.
