Nearly all types of mustard are a combination of ground mustard seeds and some form of liquid. But the type of seeds and liquid used differentiates one variety of mustard from the next.

Yellow mustard is the most widely grown type of mustard seed and has the mildest flavor; its bright yellow color comes from a mixture of mustard powder and turmeric. Learn how to make your own for a fresher, more customizable flavor.
