Yellow Mustard (Ground)

Mustard has been used for thousands of years for culinary and medicinal purposes. In medieval Europe, mustard was not only one of the few spices commonly available to the peasants, but because of its strong, bitter, hot aromatic tastes it was often used to mask the flavors of spoiling meats. Mustard is used widely in European and Chinese cooking; use in soups, stews and pickling, or to season fish, lamb, mussels, salmon, sausage, pork, beef, rabbit, poultry, and sauerkraut.
