- Everywhere else in the world, yellow mustard is referred to as American mustard
- This mild flavored mustard is bright yellow because of its containment of turmeric
- Annually, mustard sales are about $300 million
- French's is the top brand
- Before it was used for culinary purposes, mustard was known for its medicinal purposes
- Mustard paste was supposedly used by the ancient Greeks to
