Mustard plants grow in the wild, and food historians believe they were first cultivated around 3,000 BC.

How to Use

We love using ground mustard in deviled eggs, bean, cheese, pickles, ham and pork dishes, in cocktail and barbeque sauces, and in soups or chowders. Interested in making your own mustard? Two of our favorites are Porter Beer Mustard and German Style Mustard.

If you are looking to make your own mustard, it is important to know that the temperature of the liquid used when mixing is critical. For maximum heat, blend it with a very cold liquid, for a milder mustard flavor blend the powder with a hot liquid.

Mustard works well when paired with bay leaf, chili, coriander, cumin, dill, fennel, fenugreek, garlic, honey, nigella, parsley, pepper, tarragon and turmeric.
