How it differs from similar foods
Unlike smooth Dijon mustard, this whole grain version contains visible mustard seeds, providing a coarser texture and a more robust, earthy flavor. The addition of English honey softens the mustard's pungency, creating a sweeter, more mellow taste that is less sharp than plain whole grain mustard.
