What it is

Mustard water is the liquid strained from mustard seeds after they have been soaked or ground. It is primarily composed of water and the soluble components of the mustard seed, such as proteins, carbohydrates, and some oils.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use mustard water as a flavoring agent, adding a mild, tangy taste to foods. It is commonly found in pickles, relishes, salad dressings, and mayonnaise, where it contributes to the overall flavor profile.

Health notes

Mustard water is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is not typically associated with significant health concerns when consumed in amounts found in food. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated mustard and its components, but specific evaluations for 'mustard water' as a distinct ingredient may vary.
