Description

French's Mustard is one of the most recognized mustard sauce brands in the United States and the world, famous for its characteristic, slightly tangy and spicy flavor. It is a prepared yellow mustard, made primarily from yellow mustard seeds, vinegar, water, and spices, which give it a mild and fresh flavor ideal for accompanying a wide variety of dishes such as meats, hot dogs, sandwiches, salads, and dressings.

Its origin dates back to 1904 when the French company C.F. French created this recipe in Chicago, quickly positioning itself as one of the most popular mustards due to its quality and balanced flavor.

Regarding its properties, French's mustard is low in calories and fat, free from artificial preservatives and colorings, and it adds a natural spicy touch that enhances the flavor of foods without overpowering them. It also contains antioxidants present in mustard seeds that can provide health benefits.

In the context of Latin American cuisine, French's mustard can be found under various synonyms or similar names depending on the region, although its typical presentation is as yellow mustard or simply mustard. In some countries, it is also known as classic mustard or American mustard, distinguishing it from other varieties such as Dijon mustard or whole grain mustard.

It is a versatile ingredient that is essential in recipes where a balanced flavor between tanginess and mild spiciness is sought, making it ideal for dressing meats, barbecues, sauces, and salads.
