Mustard powder is made from the seeds of the mustard plant. Known since ancient times, mustard paste earned the name “mustard” from the French and owes its name to the practice of mixing the crushed seeds with wine, that is, with must.

Mustard powder must be in contact with water to release its flavor. Therefore, before use, it should be mixed with a little water, milk, or vinegar, and after letting the mixture sit for a while, it can be added to food.
