mustard?

Is organic mustard raw?? Ive seen some people use it in salad dressing recipes, not sure about this one.

Thanks:)

Unless you make it or it says raw on the label somewhere, probably no. It's been heat processed.

Here's a link for condiments:

Here is how mustard is made:

1 When the seeds arrive from the harvester, they are visually examined for quality. They are then loaded onto conveyer belts and passed under water sprayers to remove dirt and other debris. After the seeds dry, they are stored in silos until ready to use.

2 Some companies soak the mustard seeds in wine and vinegar for lengths of time ranging from a few hours to several days. This softens the seeds, making the hulls easier to remove.

3 The seeds are loaded into roller mills, where large wheels crush and grind them into a flour. Some companies subject the seeds to numerous rounds of crushing and grinding in order to obtain a desired degree of fineness.

4 The crushed seeds are passed through sieves, so that the hulls and bran fall to a tray underneath. Heartier varieties of mustard may include the hulls.

5 The seed flour is loaded into large mixing vats and specific proportions of white wine, vinegar and/or water are added. The mixture is blended until a paste is created.

6 Pre-measured amounts of seasoning and/or flavorings are added to the paste and blended thoroughly.

7 The mustard mixture is then heated to a pre-determined temperature and allowed to simmer for a pre-determined time. It is then cooled to room temperature. Some varieties of mustard are aged in large containers before they are bottled.

8 Pre-measured amounts of mustard are poured into glass jars or plastic bottles that are moving along a conveyer belt. Lids are vacuum-sealed onto the tops of the containers. The containers are then loaded into cartons for shipment.

Looks like it isn't raw. I still use it in small amounts. There are some wonderful organic mustards that use all organic spices and apple cider vinegar with the mother in it. Here is one: http://www.tropicaltraditions.com/organic_yellow_mustard.htm

RAW MUSTARD

1/4 C yellow mustard seeds
1/4 C brown mustard seeds
1/2 C apple cider vinegar
1 clove garlic

i put it all in a small bowl and let it sit in the fridge for 2 days. the seeds will soak up all the vinegar. i but everything into a blender and ran it until it got to the consistency i wanted. i had to add a lil more vinegar and some water to make it go.

beware, its potent but iz guud
