Ancient mustard, a condiment with roots dating back thousands of years, blends crushed mustard seeds, vinegar, water, and spices into a tangy paste that has been cherished across civilizations. Originating in the Mediterranean, it was often used in Roman and Greek cuisine to enhance flavors and preserve meats. Variations spread globally, influencing Indian, Chinese, and European dishes. Nutritionally, mustard seeds are a source of selenium, magnesium, and omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart health, metabolism, and good circulation. Low in calories and fat, ancient mustard complements dishes without adding guilt. However, its sodium content, depending on preparation, may be a concern for those with dietary restrictions. Rich in antioxidants, mustard can aid digestion and offer mild anti-inflammatory benefits, making it both a flavorful and functional addition to meals through history and today.
