Magnificent Mustard
August 4, 2011
I have a confession to make — I like mustard. A lot. Open my fridge and you are greeted by jars of yellow, Dijon, horseradish, stone ground, honey, sweet hot, wasabi and jalapeño flavored to name a few. Healthier than mayo and ketchup, yellow mustard (also known as American mustard) has less than 20 calories, no sugar, no fat, and only 55mg of sodium. Mustard is the go to condiment for everyday enjoyment (sandwiches and hot dogs) as well as a base for sauces served at the finest restaurants. According to thenibble.com, prepared mustard dates back thousands of years to the early Romans, who used to grind mustard seeds and mix them with wine into a paste very similar to today’s mustard. All parts of the mustard plant are edible: the seeds (from which prepared mustard is made), the leaves and flowers. More than 700 million pounds of mustard are consumed worldwide each year. There is even a National Mustard Museum located in Middleton Wisconsin. Founded in 1992 by a devote of the tangy condiment, it houses more than 5,300 jars of mustard from all over the world.
Mustard Must Haves
TSG Hoppin’ Jalapeño Mustard and Racy Wasabi Raspberry Mustard will become your new favorite condiment. Delicious as a sandwich spread, these unique flavors are also a wonderful addition to recipes. At our family get together, I substituted the Racy Wasabi Raspberry Mustard in place of the Dijon called for in my favorite potato salad recipe. The response? My sister said it was the best potato salad she has ever had!

Have a recipe for the new Southwestern Kick…. it’s a chunky dip!
1/3 cup mayo
1/3 cup sour cream
1/3 cup chopped tomatoes (small dice; drain the liquid and seeds)
1 1/2 TBS chopped green onion
1 1/2 TBS Southwestern Kick dip powder
Mix together… refrigerate for 30 minutes to let the flavors assimilate.

You have me all excited about the Racy Raspberry Wasabi mustard. I LOVE wasabi but don’t know how to use it in more dishes. If this mustard is as delicious as I think it’s going to be, you’ve given me the answer!
Can you please give the wasabi potato salad recipe that you have pictured? I have the wasabi mustard on order and can’t wait to try that and the super easy wasabi rice recipe you gave also.
Thank you!

Hello Corrine – I can tell you first hand, this mustard is special. As you read about in my blog, I am a big fan of the yellow stuff! What’s great about this mustard is that it is so much more than just a sandwich spread. I will post the potoato salad recipe in this week’s blog. Have a great day!
