How should I store mustard?

Unopened mustard should be stored in a cool, dark place, like a pantry or cupboard. Once opened, it should be refrigerated in an airtight container.

Mustard can be used as a condiment on hot dogs, sandwiches, and more. 

Mustard seeds contain nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, which may help with cardiovascular health. They may also help lower blood sugar and prevent certain cancers. 

There are many different types of mustard, including yellow, black, and brown mustard. The type of mustard seed and the temperature of the water used to make it affect the mustard’s flavor and heat level.

The seeds, leaves, and flowers of the mustard plant are all edible. The leaves, also known as mustard greens, can be eaten in salads or cooked with ham or salt pork. The flowers can be used as edible decorations. 

Mustard oil is made from pressing the mustard seeds. It is banned in the U.S., European Union, and Canada because of its high levels of erucic acid, which may be linked to heart conditions. 

Horseradish is a root vegetable in the mustard family. It’s used as a condiment in sauces, dressings, and marinades.
