There are several popular recipes for cooking:

Which mustard should you choose?

There are several varieties of seasoning - they are distinguished by the method of preparation, spiciness, and also the harmony of combination with honey:

  • Dijon mustard. Initially it was made from whole black seeds, previously peeled, with the addition of white grape wine. Thanks to this, the paste acquired a light taste and creamy consistency.
  • American mustard. It is a combination of yellow mustard seeds and turmeric - they are the reason for the bright color of the paste. It is the thinnest and sweetest of all varieties.
  • Russian (Sarepta) mustard. It is made from ground cake of yellow or light brown grains. It has a strong pungency and burning taste.
  • English mustard. It is prepared from white ground seeds with the addition of turmeric and flour. It has an original taste and a high degree of spiciness, as it is produced without the use of vinegar.
  • Bavarian mustard. A distinctive feature is the coarse grinding of seeds, particles of which are present in the paste. It has an exquisite spicy-sweet taste, as it is prepared with the addition of sugar, honey or apple jam.
  • Chinese mustard. It is produced not only from seeds, but also stems and leaves. The calling card of this type of spice is its pungency. But the taste can be varied: from spicy to sweet.

Depending on your individual taste preferences, you can choose any of the above varieties. But please note: it is recommended to mix hot seasonings with “soft” ingredients (olive oil, mayonnaise, etc.) so as not to harm your health.
