Ground Yellow Mustard

Ground mustard is also called powdered mustard, mustard powder or mustard flour. It is made by grinding mustard seeds and then sifting the seed coat out to leave a fine powder behind. Mustard flavor is sharp, pungent, and fiery. Ground Mustard Seed adds flavor to sauces (hollandaise sauce in particular), mayonnaise, dressings and dry rubs as well as to processed sausages and meats. The flavor of ground mustard develops when soaked in liquid to bring out the pungent compounds. It is commonly used in spice rubs, salad dressings, soups, and to add an acidic component to cut through rich sauces like for macaroni and cheese.
