What it is

Mustard powder is made from dried, ground mustard seeds, typically from the white or yellow mustard plant (Sinapis alba). The seeds are ground into a fine powder, often with the hull removed to reduce bitterness. It has a pungent, sharp flavor that intensifies when mixed with liquid.

Why it's used

Mustard powder is primarily used as a flavoring agent, adding a characteristic spicy kick to foods. It is a key ingredient in many spice blends, rubs, marinades, salad dressings, and sauces. It can also act as an emulsifier in dressings and mayonnaise.

Health notes

Mustard powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. It is not typically consumed in large enough quantities to cause adverse health effects. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated mustard and its components, but no specific numeric limits are generally set for typical dietary intake. Some research suggests potential antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, but more studies are needed.

Allergen info

Mustard is not one of the 9 major allergens designated by the FDA. It is not derived from wheat and therefore does not contain gluten.
