Why Every Foodie Should Add Mustard to Their Pantry

Mustard is a versatile and delicious condiment that should be a staple in every foodie's pantry. From adding flavour to sandwiches and dressings to enhancing marinades and glazes, mustard can take your meals to the next level. In this article, we'll explore the benefits of mustard and why it should be a must-have ingredient in your kitchen.  

What Does Mustard Add to a Dish? 

Mustard adds a tangy, sometimes spicy flavour to dishes that can enhance the overall taste profile. Old German Mustard, for example, is a slightly coarse-grained mustard with a stronger, sharper flavour. It pairs well with hearty meats like pork and beef, as well as cheese and vegetables. Honey Mustard, on the other hand, has a sweeter taste due to the addition of honey. It works well as a dipping sauce for chicken tenders, in a dressing for salads, or as a glaze for roasted vegetables. 

What is Mustard Usually Used for? 

Mustard is a condiment that can be used in a variety of ways. It can be spread on sandwiches or burgers, mixed into dressings or marinades, or used as a glaze for meats or vegetables. It's also a key ingredient in many delicious dishes such as our Elvis Burger, Sauerkraut Panini, Veggie Patties with Curry Mustard, and Spaghetti al Funghi, You can find even more tasty ideas in our recipes section. 

Why Mustard is the Best Condiment? 

There are many reasons why mustard is the best condiment. First, it's low in calories and fat, making it a healthier option than many other condiments. Second, it's incredibly versatile and can be used in various dishes. Finally, it comes in various flavours, so you can choose the type that best compliments and elevates your meal.
