About Honey dijon mustard

Honey Dijon mustard is a flavorful condiment that blends honey's natural sweetness with Dijon mustard's tangy and sharp characteristics. Originating in Dijon, France, this mustard is traditionally made using brown or black mustard seeds, white wine, and vinegar. Honey is added for sweetness, giving it a versatile taste profile that complements a variety of dishes in both European and contemporary cuisines. Honey Dijon mustard is relatively low in calories, offering approximately 30 calories per tablespoon, with no fat and minimal protein. Its main nutritional contributions lie in the micronutrients found in mustard seeds, such as selenium and magnesium, and the antioxidants from honey, though these are present in smaller amounts due to its status as a condiment. It carries a subtle hint of carbohydrates from the honey, making it a balanced addition to recipes rather than a primary nutrient source.
