The history of mustard

Did you know …


                                               Prepared mustard dates back thousands of years to

                                               the early Romans, who used to grind mustard seeds

                                               and mix them with wine into a paste not much

                                               different from the prepared mustards we know today.


                                               German lore advises a bride to sew mustard seeds

                                               into the hem of her wedding dress to assure her

                                               dominance of the household.


                                               In Denmark, and India, it's thought that spreading

                                               mustard seeds around the exterior of the home will

                                               keep out evil spirits.
