Mustard is a condiment and spice made from the seeds of the Brassica species of plants. 🌿  about it:

Source: It is derived from the small, round seeds of the mustard plant (Brassica family, which includes plants like black mustard, brown mustard, and white/yellow mustard).

Preparation: The seeds are typically ground, crushed, and mixed with liquid (like water, vinegar, or wine) to create the familiar condiment paste. Other ingredients often include salt and spices.

Flavor Profile: The characteristic pungent, spicy, and sharp flavor comes from compounds like allyl isothiocyanate (in black and brown mustard) and 4-hydroxybenzyl isothiocyanate (in white mustard), which are released when the seeds are broken and mixed with liquid.

Uses: It's used globally as a popular culinary ingredient to enhance the flavor of meats, sausages, sandwiches, dressings, and sauces, and is also used in whole or ground form as a spice in cook
