Yellow Mustard

Texture

Yellow mustard seeds are valued not only for their mild flavour but also for the texture they bring to food. When crushed, they add visual appeal and a gentle crunch to products such as sauces, salad dressings and condiments like American mustard, providing an enjoyable contrast to smooth and creamy ingredients.

Fibre

Yellow mustard seeds are a rich source of soluble fibre, thanks to the natural gel-like mucilage found on the seed coats. Adding yellow mustard to your recipes is an easy way to boost the fibre content of dishes, creating products that support digestive health and help maintain healthy blood sugar levels.

Flavour Enhancement

Yellow mustard seeds bring a tangy, slightly sweet flavour with high acidity and mild heat. This makes them perfect for creating a zesty note in condiments like yellow mustard, as well as for adding brightness to sauces and salad dressings. Their emulsifying properties also help blend ingredients, creating smooth, well-balanced dressings and sauces.

Protein

Yellow mustard seeds (Sinapis alba) contain around 25% protein by weight, making them a valuable addition to any recipe. This high protein content, combined with beneficial polysaccharide gum and oil components, makes yellow mustard a useful and economical ingredient to enhance both the nutritional and textural properties of food products. Yellow mustard is particularly well-suited for applications that require a natural protein boost without compromising taste or texture.

Oriental Mustard

Texture

Oriental mustard flour is perfect for creating smooth, consistent textures in seasoning blends and rubs. It adds subtle body and a pleasant graininess to spice mixes, making it particularly effective in dry seasonings for meats and vegetables. When used in barbecue dry mixes, its natural tenderising properties also help to break down proteins and enhance the mouthfeel of dishes.

Fibre

In addition to being rich in fibre, Oriental mustard seeds are known for their higher oil content, including unsaturated fatty acids. This blend of fibre and healthy fats makes them an excellent choice for use in products designed to promote digestive health and provide a steady source of energy.

Flavour Enhancement

Known for their pungent and spicy flavour, Oriental mustard seeds bring a robust heat to your dishes. These seeds are ideal for seasoning blends, marinades and sauces where a bold mustard flavour is required. Their strong heat enhances barbecue sauces and spicy marinades, making them perfect for meats and vegetables and adding complexity to dishes.

Protein

Oriental mustard seeds (Brassica juncea) are rich in protein, offering an excellent way to improve the nutritional profile of your dishes. Research shows that the protein in some Oriental Mustard varieties can be effectively extracted for use in food products, making it a valuable ingredient for boosting protein content. In addition, the functional properties of oriental mustard proteins, such as emulsification and water-binding, make them particularly versatile and valuable in product development.

Dark Husk Mustard

Texture

Dark husk mustard seeds, whether whole or coarsely ground, add a hearty texture that gives products a more substantial feel. Their visible flecks enhance the appearance of sauces, marinades and spice blends, adding a rustic, artisanal touch. This makes them ideal for applications where both texture and visual appeal are key, such as grainy mustards, dressings and seasoning mixes.

Fibre

Dark husk mustard seeds, with their fibrous outer layer, provide a significant amount of dietary fibre. This natural fibre helps contribute to a feeling of fullness and supports healthy digestion, making them an ideal ingredient for enriching the fibre profile of your products.

Flavour Enhancement

Dark husk mustard seeds are distinguished by their intense heat and pungency. This makes them perfect for products that require a more assertive mustard flavour. From spicy mustards to pickles and chutneys, dark husk mustard adds a bold, lively heat and depth to your recipes, appealing to those who enjoy a stronger, more complex mustard taste.

Protein

Dark husk mustard seeds are high in protein. Studies show these seeds contain protein levels from around 32 to 36% protein. This robust protein profile provides a valuable option for catering to the growing demand for plant-based protein sources, contributing to the nutritional and functional attributes of a wide range of food applications.
