Mustard seed's hot and spicy flavor enhances meats, fish, fowl, sauces, and salad dressings.  Mustard was used in ancient Greece and Rome as a medicine and a flavoring. By 800 AD, the French were using mustard as an enhancement for drab meals and salted meats.

Mustard powder was invented in the 18th century by Mrs. Clements of Durham, England, who made a fortune selling the dry, pale yellow mustard flour.  Her method extracted the full flavor from the mustard seed, and Durham Mustard became hugely popular.

Powdered mustard has no aroma when dry, but a hot flavor is released when it is mixed with water.  Before using, dissolve powdered mustard in water to form a paste, then let stand for 10 minutes while the flavor develops.  Unlike other pungent spices, mustard's flavor reaches its peak in this time and does not develop further.

Mustard helps emulsify liquids and can be used in salad dressing recipes to help blend the oil and vinegar and add a spicy zip.
