About Sweet mustard

Sweet mustard is a type of mustard condiment that is typically made by blending mustard seeds with a sweetening agent such as honey, sugar, or molasses. Originating in European cuisines, particularly in Germany and France, sweet mustard is a flavorful addition to sausages, sandwiches, and dressings. Nutritionally, sweet mustard is low in calories and fat, but its content varies depending on the sweetener used. Mustard seeds are rich in phytonutrients, minerals like selenium, and small amounts of protein, while added sweeteners increase its carbohydrate and sugar levels. It is a condiment with moderate levels of sodium, depending on preparation.

Health Benefits
