What it is

Whole grain mustard is made from whole mustard seeds, which are crushed or coarsely ground. It often includes other ingredients like vinegar, water, salt, and spices. The seeds retain their hulls, giving the mustard a coarser texture and a more robust flavor than smooth mustard.

Why it's used

Whole grain mustard is used as a condiment and flavor enhancer. Its texture and pungent taste add depth to sauces, dressings, marinades, and sandwich spreads. It is commonly found in pickles, relishes, ketchup, barbecue sauce, and as a standalone mustard product.

Health notes

Mustard seeds are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. They contain various compounds that may have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated mustard and its preparations. At typical dietary levels, whole grain mustard is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Mustard is considered one of the nine major food allergens by the FDA. It is not related to gluten.
