About Horseradish mustard

Horseradish mustard is a tangy condiment made by combining ground mustard seeds and horseradish root, often mixed with vinegar, salt, and sometimes sugar for flavor balance. Originating in Europe, this condiment is commonly used in German, Eastern European, and British cuisine, particularly as a zesty accompaniment to meats, sausages, and sandwiches. Nutritionally, horseradish mustard is low in calories and fat, while offering small amounts of beneficial nutrients like vitamin C, calcium, magnesium, and dietary fiber. Additionally, it contains compounds like glucosinolates, which are known for their potential antioxidant properties. Typically consumed in moderation as a flavorful enhancer, it provides a sharp, spicy kick without adding excessive caloric load to meals.
