Did you know what you are actually buying from the store? Mass-produced industrial mustard is often little more than a cocktail of vinegar and food coloring. It undergoes such long pasteurization that nothing “living” remains inside.
At Spizing, we believe that food should be medicine. The good news is that it is incredibly easy to prepare real mustard at home. The result? “Live” food that your body can fully absorb, offering a beneficial effect on your digestion. You will have a natural remedy right on your table.
Why Choose Homemade Mustard?
No Unnecessary Chemicals: You control exactly what goes in.
Probiotic Properties: Since it is not heat-treated, it preserves its natural enzymes.
Customized Flavor: You can make it as spicy, sweet, or aromatic as you like.
The Base Recipe for Homemade Mustard
You only need a few simple ingredients to get started:
Mustard powder (combination of mustard and turmeric): 50g
Liquid: 70ml (vinegar, white wine, water, or a combination of the three)
Salt: approximately 1 tsp
Instructions:
Step 1: Mix the mustard powder with the chosen liquid and salt. Stir well until you achieve a homogeneous mixture.
Step 2: Add to a container and leave it at room temperature for at least 24 hours. This is when the magic happens, and the mustard “comes to life.”
Step 3 (Flavoring): After 24 hours, your base mustard is ready. Now is the time for creativity! You can optionally add:
Herbs & Spices: Tarragon, horseradish, garlic, or black pepper.
Sweeteners: Honey, agave, or brown sugar.
Texture: If you prefer a smoother mustard, use a blender until you reach the desired consistency.
The Spizing Tip
Once ready, store the mustard in the refrigerator. Wait another 2–3 days before consuming. This time is necessary for the natural initial bitterness to fade and for the flavors to meld perfectly.
