Mustard Seed

Mustard is one of the most widely used condiments in the world! Mustard itself comes from the mustard seed of the mustard plant. Outside of providing a tangy flavor to foods, mustard seeds also are a source of fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, a healthy fat that is good for the heart. Mustard seeds pair well with seafood, chicken, and vegetables such as cabbage, green beans, and peas. The mustard condiment itself also makes a great heart-healthy substitute for mayonnaise in dishes like potato salad or coleslaw. Lastly, consider using mustard for your homemade salad! Mix your favorite type of mustard with some olive oil and lemon juice and you are good to go!
