FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
How long does mustard paste last in the refrigerator?
Once opened, mustard paste typically lasts 6 to 12 months in the refrigerator, though it may lose its pungency over time.
Can mustard paste be frozen?
It is not recommended to freeze mustard paste as the texture can become watery and the flavor profile may change significantly upon thawing.
What is the best substitute for mustard paste?
You can substitute with mustard powder mixed with a little water or vinegar, or use horseradish for a similar spicy kick.
Is mustard paste gluten-free?
Pure mustard seeds are gluten-free, but some commercial pastes use wheat flour as a thickener. Always check the label for gluten-containing ingredients.
Why does my mustard paste have liquid on top?
This is natural separation. Simply stir the liquid back into the paste before using; it does not indicate the product has spoiled.
How can I tell if mustard paste has gone bad?
Look for signs of mold, a very dark discoloration, or an off-smell. If it lacks its characteristic sharp scent, it has likely lost its quality.
Is mustard paste the same as mustard sauce?
Mustard paste is usually thicker and more concentrated, while mustard sauce often contains additional liquids, sugars, or fats.
Does mustard paste contain many calories?
No, mustard paste is very low in calories, typically containing only 5-10 calories per tablespoon, making it a diet-friendly condiment.
Can I make my own mustard paste at home?
Yes, by grinding mustard seeds and mixing them with water, vinegar, and salt. Letting it sit for a few days allows the flavors to mellow.
What causes the 'heat' in mustard paste?
The heat comes from enzymes that are released when mustard seeds are crushed and mixed with cold liquid, creating allyl isothiocyanate.
