Mustard Production

American, Dijon, Wholegrain & Specialty Mustards

Mustard seeds are the defining ingredient for all prepared mustards. The seed type directly determines the resulting flavor and intensity:

Yellow Mustard Seeds are the foundation for the classic, mild, and tangy American-style and ballpark mustards.

Uses: American mustard, hot dog mustard, and honey mustard.

Processing Tip: Typically ground to a fine powder for a smooth texture.

Brown Mustard Seeds are used to create the pungent, complex flavor of authentic Dijon and wholegrain mustards.

Uses: Dijon mustard, wholegrain mustard, and traditional German mustards.

Processing Tip: Used whole or coarsely ground for a desirable texture.

Pickling & Brining

Pickles, Gherkins & Preserved Vegetables

Whole mustard seeds are an essential component of traditional pickling and brining spices. They contribute a subtle warmth and flavor while offering natural antimicrobial properties that support long-term preservation of vegetables.

Uses: Dill pickles (using whole yellow seeds), mixed pickles, pickling brine blends, chutneys, and relishes.

Processing Tip: Whole yellow or brown seeds are typically added directly to the brine. Light toasting of the seeds beforehand can enhance the overall aroma of the finished product.

Spices & Seasonings

Curry Powder, Masalas & Spice Blends

Mustard seeds are fundamental in complex spice blends worldwide. Oriental mustard seeds are prominent in Indian and Asian cuisine, while Brown mustard seeds are often featured in European spice mixtures.

Uses: Curry powder (oriental mustard seeds), garam masala blends, pickling spice mixes, and BBQ rubs/marinades.

Processing Tip: Toasting the seeds before grinding is a critical step, as it activates the volatile oils within the seed, intensifying the nutty and pungent flavor of the final spice blend.

Meat Processing

Sausages, Burgers & Marinades

Mustard seeds, both whole and ground, are used extensively in meat processing not only for flavor but also as a natural preservative and emulsifier.

Uses: Included in the mix for sausages (e.g., bratwurst, frankfurters), burger seasonings, meat marinades, and dry rubs for corned beef and BBQ.

Processing Tip: Use ground mustard within the sausage mixture for even flavor dispersion, and whole seeds in marinades or as a decorative coating.

Bakery & Toppings

Bread, Pretzels & Crackers

Whole yellow mustard seeds are primarily used as a decorative, flavorful topping in the bakery sector, adding visual interest and a burst of flavor upon biting.

Uses: Toppings for pretzels, bagels, bread rolls, crackers, and specialty seeded bread varieties.

Processing Tip: The seeds are applied to the dough surface before baking and lightly pressed to ensure they adhere during cooking.

Mustard Oil Production

Edible Cooking Oil

Oriental mustard seeds are preferred for mustard oil production due to their highest oil content. This oil is a popular edible cooking oil, particularly in regions like India and Bangladesh, and also has industrial and topical applications.

Uses: Cooking oil, massage oil, and industrial applications.

Processing Tip: Cold-pressing the seeds yields the highest quality edible oil.
