Mustard powder, also known as ground mustard, is a versatile spice made by grinding mustard seeds into a fine powder. It is commonly used in cooking to add a pungent, tangy flavor to dishes and is a key ingredient in many spice blends, sauces, and marinades. Mustard powder is derived from various types of mustard seeds, including yellow, brown, and black, each offering a distinct flavor profile. Beyond its culinary uses, mustard powder is valued for its preservative qualities and has been used in traditional medicine for its potential health benefits. When mixed with water, it can also be used to create prepared mustard, offering a fresh and potent taste. With its strong, sharp flavor, mustard powder enhances the depth and complexity of a wide range of recipes, from salad dressings to dry rubs for meats.
