What it is
These are single-serving packets of mustard, a condiment made from mustard seeds, vinegar, water, and spices. Each packet contains a small, convenient portion, perfect for on-the-go use or for individual servings at picnics and barbecues. The bright yellow color is characteristic of prepared mustard, and the flavor is tangy and slightly pungent.
