Mustard

Mustard is a condiment made from the seeds of the mustard plant, which belongs to the Brassicaceae family. The seeds are ground and combined with liquids like water, vinegar, or wine to create a spicy, tangy paste. Different types of mustard vary in flavor, from mild and sweet to sharp and hot, depending on the seed variety and preparation process. It is commonly used to enhance the taste of sandwiches, meats, and salad dressings. Mustard also contains compounds that may have health benefits, such as antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties.
