History:
Spicy brown mustard evolved from ancient Roman "burning must" and European medieval recipes, becoming distinct in 19th-century America, especially with German immigrants adapting traditions using coarse-ground brown seeds for robust flavor, popularized by brands like Gulden's (originally a pharmacy digestive aid) and regional "ballpark" mustards (Bertman's/Stadium in Cleveland) that became deli and stadium staples. Its coarse texture and potent flavor come from partially ground brown seeds, differentiating it from yellow mustard and pairing perfectly with hearty meats and sandwiches.
Flavor Profile:
Spicy brown mustard microgreens offer a bold, pungent, peppery flavor with a sharp, sinus-clearing heat similar to Dijon or wasabi, but with an earthy finish and sometimes a hint of sweet tanginess that cuts richness in dishes. They're more intense than arugula but not overpowering.
Uses:
Spicy brown mustard microgreens add a zesty, peppery kick to many dishes, best used raw as a garnish or mixed into salads, sandwiches, wraps, and burgers for freshness, or sprinkled over tacos, eggs, and even soups for a flavorful, nutritious boost. They're also great in Asian dishes like ramen or sushi and can even be blended into smoothies for extra nutrients.
Salads & Bowls: Toss with other greens or add to grain/veggie bowls for a spicy punch.
Sandwiches & Wraps: Layer in turkey sandwiches, veggie wraps, or use as a fresh topping for burgers and hot dogs.
Breakfast: Garnish eggs benedict, omelets, or avocado toast.
Asian Cuisine: Top ramen, pho, sushi, bibimbap, or add to stir-fries.
Soups & Stews: Sprinkle on creamy soups (like butternut squash) or curries for a fresh contrast.
Meats & Fish: Serve with grilled steak, roast pork, lamb, or fish.
Smoothies: Blend a small amount into smoothies for added nutrients.
