Mustards are made in a variety of forms, with various flavours and textures. They can however be divided into two basic categories:
Smooth mustards, which are normally made from finely ground mustard powder ("mustard flour").
Coarse grain or whole grain mustards, which, as the name suggests, consist of partially ground or unmilled mustard seed.
In each case, the mustard would contain vinegar, water or a mixture of the two. A number of other ingredients may be added, including sugar, salt and various flavours such as honey, herbs, spices and colouring such as turmeric. Some products also contain antioxidants and an acidity regulator e.g. citric acid. The starches contained in the mustard seed provide the desired thickening effect, however some recipes may contain additional thickening agents such as wheat flour.
