Mustard Powder is none other than the ground form of mustard seeds. Even though it is often overshadowed by ketchup, mustard has more history and a greater range of flavor. Its heat level spans the spectrum from mild to wild. In powder form, it can be mixed into salad dressings, added to South Asian curries, or simply reconstituted as a spread.

How to use it

Mix with water and wait 10 minutes — that's when the heat activates. The base of homemade mustard, cheese sauces, and devilled eggs. Whisk into vinaigrettes, rub onto roast beef, or stir into mac and cheese. A teaspoon in batter makes the crispiest fried chicken you've ever had.

What it goes with

Mustard's sharp heat needs a bold, tannic palate cleanser. Brew our English Breakfast or Irish Breakfast alongside a roast dinner — the tannins reset your palate between bites. Classic British pairing.

Also in these blends

On its own, this is the straight thing. It also goes into these blends, each made for a different evening. Read about Mustard →
