8 Things You Didn’t Know About Mustard

March 28, 2016 by Christina Leave a Comment

There’s more to this yellow condiment than meets the eye. We’ve uncovered some fun facts about the spicy and pungent condiment that you’ll be surprised to know!

  1. Canada grows over 90% of the world’s mustard supply.
  2. Saskatchewan alone produces half of the mustard consumed worldwide.
  3. One tablespoon of mustard contains only 10 calories, compared to 40 calories for mayonnaise and 19 calories for ketchup.
  4. All parts of the mustard plant are edible, including the leaves, seeds and flowers!
  5. National Mustard Day is on the first Saturday of August every year. This year, it falls on August 6, 2016.
  6. Mustard is one of the world’s most ancient spices and oldest known condiments. It originated over 2,000 years ago with roots in Ancient Greece and China!
  7. Mustard is an ancient remedy for nasal and chest congestion, as well as for the flu and chest colds, as it has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties.
  8. The oldest and largest mustard mill in the world, G.S. Dunn, is located right in Hamilton, Ontario!

Want to try out this all-Canadian condiment for yourself? On next week’s menu, we’re featuring Kozlik’s Canadian Mustard in our Mustard Crusted Steak with Salt & Vinegar Potatoes and a Citrus Spinach Salad.
