About Teaspoon of mustard
A teaspoon of mustard offers a flavorful punch with minimal calories, typically less than 5 per serving. Originating from ancient civilizations, mustard is a staple in cuisines worldwide, especially in European and North American dishes. Made from mustard seeds, vinegar, spices, and occasionally sweeteners, its bold taste pairs well with meats, sandwiches, dressings, and marinades. Mustard contains selenium and omega-3 fatty acids, contributing small amounts of nutrients. It is naturally free of fat and cholesterol, but sodium levels can be high, so moderation is key for maintaining heart health. Some variations include turmeric, providing an antioxidant boost due to curcumin. As a low-calorie condiment, it’s a better choice than heavy sauces for those watching calorie intake. Whether enhancing flavor or contributing subtle nutritional benefits, mustard is a versatile addition to meals without adding unwanted unhealthy fats.
