Yellow Mustard Powder (100% Pure Grounded) Weight: Approximately 2.5 oz per bottle Price: $7 About Most people would be surprised to learn that yellow mustard isn't yellow. The white herb powder is made yellow in the prepared condiment by the addition of turmeric. The word mustard comes from the Latin "mustum ardems" meaning "burning must," or a spicy combination of mustard (burning) and freshly squeezed grape juice (must). Yellow mustard is a flowering plant in the same family as brown or black mustard, wasabi, watercress, horseradish, and arugula, sharing a hot and pungent group of chemicals known as isothiocyanates. The isothiocyanates act as defense system against grazing animals by releasing burning chemicals when the plant is chewed. They destroy animal tissues, and they would also destroy the tissues of the plant except that they are stored in the plant in a different form that is only activated when the plant is disturbed. Mustard can be made from whole seeds or the pre-ground seeds, called mustard flour. Making mustard form the whole seeds takes time because the seeds have to soak as the distinctly "mustardy" flavor matures over several days. Mustard made from mustard flour is nearly instant but very hot. Mustard made from the pre-ground seeds, called mustard flour, is nearly instant. It is also quite hot. Medicinal & Ayurvedic Uses Before there were lavatories, surgeons cleaned their hands with mustard. Yellow mustard can be used like brown mustard but for a milder effect. Yellow mustard seed powder is "hotter" than the whole seed. Mustard plasters relieve swelling by increasing circulation near the surface of the skin. They relieve pain by acting as a counter-irritant, "distracting" the central nervous system from pain of other origins. The "burn" of a hot mustard plaster stimulates breathing by activating a pathway for the skin to the lungs through the central nervous system. Mustard seed plasters are most appropriate for a relatively strong person suffering congestion or swelling; they should not be used on anyone who is confined to bed over a period of months or years.
