Whole Grain Mustard

Whole grain mustard is a type of mustard in which the mustard seeds are left whole or only coarsely ground, giving it a characteristic grainy texture. It is less sharp than Dijon mustard but distinctly aromatic with a mildly spicy finish. In the kitchen it works as a condiment alongside cold meats and cheeses, in marinades, dressings, sandwiches and sauces. It pairs excellently with roasted meats, sausages or as part of a mustard vinaigrette. It adds both texture and flavor to dishes. It is made from brown or yellow mustard seeds combined with vinegar and spices.
