Taste the Difference Wholegrain Mustard
What it is
This is a coarse-ground mustard made with whole mustard seeds. It has a robust flavor and a distinctive texture. The seeds are visible throughout the condiment, giving it a rustic appearance. It is typically prepared with mustard seeds, vinegar, water, and salt, though specific ingredients can vary by brand. This type of mustard offers a pleasant bite and a slightly less smooth consistency than Dijon or yellow mustard.

- Dipping sauce
You can spread this mustard directly onto sandwiches and burgers for an added layer of flavor and texture. It is also excellent when incorporated into salad dressings, providing a tangy and slightly spicy element. For marinades, it pairs well with meats like pork and chicken, helping to tenderize and infuse them with taste. It can be whisked into sauces or gravies to add depth and complexity. Consider stirring it into potato salad or coleslaw for a zesty kick.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike smooth Dijon or bright yellow mustard, wholegrain mustard retains the integrity of the mustard seeds. This results in a more pronounced texture and a less uniform flavor profile. The whole seeds release their flavor more gradually, offering a different sensory experience.
Who it is for
Home cooks who enjoy adding bold flavors and interesting textures to their meals will appreciate this mustard.
How to keep the rest
After opening, keep the jar tightly sealed in the refrigerator. This helps to preserve its freshness and prevent it from drying out. Proper storage will ensure the mustard maintains its quality for an extended period.
