Granulated mustard is an ingredient consisting of dried and ground mustard seeds in a coarse texture or coarse powder. It is widely used in cooking to add a spicy, slightly bitter, and characteristic flavor to various preparations, such as dressings, marinades, sauces, sausages, and pickles.
Its origin lies in plants of the genus Brassica, especially the species Brassica nigra (black mustard), Brassica juncea (brown mustard), and Sinapis alba (white mustard). These seeds have been used since ancient times both in gastronomy and in traditional medicine.
From a nutritional standpoint, granulated mustard is a source of antioxidant compounds and provides small amounts of minerals such as magnesium, phosphorus, and calcium. It also contains glucosinolates, which may have beneficial health effects when consumed regularly in moderate amounts.
In the Latin American culinary context, it is also known as mustard seeds, whole grain mustard, or simply dry mustard. It is a highly valued ingredient for adding texture and intense flavor to traditional dishes and can be an essential base for preparing homemade mustard or spice blends.
