Ground Yellow Mustard
Ground Yellow Mustard
Ground Yellow Mustard, Brassica alba, is sometimes called ground mustard, bulk mustard powder, or yellow dry mustard.
Whole mustard seeds are harvested from three different plants: yellow (also known as white) mustard, brown mustard, and black mustard.
Food historians believe that mustard seeds were first cultivated around 3,000 BC in ancient Egypt. Pliny the Elder (23-79 AD) who authored "Natural History", one of the first encyclopedias, is credited with writing a recipe for a condiment that mixed crushed mustard seeds with vinegar.
Our Ground Yellow Mustard is popular with our specialty shop, seasoning company, and brewpub customers.
Flavor Profile
Dry mustard by itself has little to no flavor. Dry roasting the seeds before use releases an earthy aroma and a nuttier taste.
How To Use
Ground Yellow Mustard is a terrific way to add some punch to foods without the lingering heat that can come from chile peppers. Use this powder when making a German-style mustard, of course, but were you aware this adds depth to Ketchup as well? You can add a tablespoon of Ground Yellow Mustard to your favorite DIY Dry Rib Rub and then top of your ribs with Cherry Balsamic BBQ Sauce, laced with Ground Yellow Mustard. In the Caribbean, dry mustard delivers a little kick to sauces for fruit, so add some to Pineapple Cilantro Dressing to keep the fruity idea going, or stir into your favorite vinaigrette.
Use ground mustard in bean, cheese, ham and pork dishes, chowders, cocktail sauce, deviled eggs, barbecue sauces and in soups. It adds flavor to grilled and roasted beef, cabbage, strong cheeses, chicken, curries, dals, fish, and seafood, cold meats, rabbit, sauces, and sausages.
Mustard works well when paired with bay, chili, coriander, cumin, dill, fennel, fenugreek, garlic, honey, nigella, parsley, pepper, tarragon, and turmeric.
