Moderate FODMAP
English Mustard
Limit your serving size. Portion control matters here.
English mustard combines ground mustard seeds, turmeric, wheat flour, and water for a sharp and pungent condiment. Mustard seeds themselves are low in FODMAPs, but the added wheat flour contributes measurable fructan load. Traditional preparations rely on simple ingredients, but commercial tins often include sugar or onion powder for balance. Those managing IBS should verify that wheat content remains low and avoid large single servings. Substituting with cornstarch-thickened blends improves overall tolerance.

sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes
Mix English mustard powder with cold water and let rest briefly to activate enzymes without overheating. Pair with rice vinegar and a drop of olive oil for a balanced dipping sauce that minimizes fructan exposure. Store unopened tins in a cool pantry and prepare fresh batches to maintain optimal heat intensity and flavor profile.
