More on whole grain mustard

Whole Grain mustards have been ground just enough to form a paste, but not so much that they fully break down all the mustard seeds, creating a thick, coarse texture.

Most are of Dijon influence or a variation on that which means they use wine instead of vinegar, and brown and black seeds instead of yellow. They have the most texture and an intense flavour.

It is an easy mustard to try and make on your own.

Mustard seeds are excellent sources of the trace minerals Magnesium (involved in the regulation of muscle, heart and nerve function and keeping bones strong) and Selenium (a powerful antioxidant that may protect against cancer, thyroid problems, cognitive decline, and asthma).

A LITTLE BIT OF MUSTARD HISTORY

Mustard dates back to the early Romans and is one of the worlds oldest condiments. Early Roman cooks made a hot paste "mustum ardens" (burning must) by combining ground mustard seeds with unfermented grape juice called "must". This was later shortened to "mustard" when it arrived to the English speaking world.
