Life is about being healthy and happy, and that is why I created a mustard that is not only great tasting and good for you, but also affordable and available to anyone. Mustard and tumeric have really great health benefits that you might not know about!
Benefits of the Mighty Mustard Seed
Mustard Girl All American Mustards are made from three varieties of mustard seeds: yellow brown, and white. Mustard seeds are a very good source of omega-3 fatty acids, which boost heart health and lower triglycerides.
Mustard seeds also contain calcium, dietary fiber, iron, manganese, magnesium, niacin, phosphorus, protein, zinc, and selenium—a trace mineral that is an antioxidant that may offer protection against asthma, heart attacks, and some cancers. Studies are currently being conducted about mustard’s positive health benefits for menopausal women and migraine headaches.
