My friend and I met up for lunch a block away from the National Mustard Museum. I was, in fact, unaware that it's National Mustard Day and the area is packed due to a small street festival going on. My friend was luckily running a tiny bit late so I walked through and checked it out

National Mustard Day

Ground from the seeds of a mustard plant, mustard is one of America’s favorite condiments. Food lovers can celebrate this versatile topping on National Mustard Day, August 6. The National Mustard Museum was the originator of the holiday and celebrates the day every first Saturday in August. Guests who visit the museum on this special day can take part in a wide variety of games and even try a free hot dog and mustard sampling. Of course, you don’t have to go to the museum to have fun. Be sure to try out as many mustards as possible: the standard yellow American style, French Dijon mustard, Bavarian sweet mustard and the tangy, beer mustard!

When is National Mustard Day 2022?

National Mustard Day is celebrated annually on the first Saturday in August.

History of National Mustard Day

Mustard has been among the most used spices in the world for centuries. Believed to have originated in Ancient Egypt, it was used for medicinal purposes as well as a spice. The Greeks and Romans followed suit, utilizing mustard for both flavoring and as a herbal remedy. Mustard was prescribed as a cure for a range of ailments, from snakebites to hysteria.

The mustard arrived in Northern France where it was gradually cultivated by local monks. The word ‘mustard’ is derived from the word ‘mosto’ or ‘grape muss’ — a type of unfermented wine that hasn’t matured and was mixed with mustard seeds by the French monks. Monasteries started producing large amounts of mustard in the 9th century, from which they generated even larger amounts of income through sales.

Prepared mustard or modern mustard as we know it, was created in Dijon, France in the 13th century. The preparation of this condiment is thanks to the efforts of Pope John XXII of Avignon, who loved mustard and created a special post of Grand Moustardier du Pape or the Grand Mustard-Maker, to which he appointed his nephew.

At the beginning of the 19th century, mustard was finely milled into powder by the world’s first mustard millers, the British. This is how mustard became an industrial-level food ingredient. In 1904, the modern yellow mustard was introduced in Rochester, New York, from where it became popular due to its pairing with the classic American hot dog.

Traditions

On National Mustard Day, grab the mustard and pair it with different food items. Used as a condiment for cheeses, meat, and bread food items such as hamburgers, sandwiches, hot dogs, and even pizza, its versatility is enjoyed today by food lovers everywhere.

Mustard is also a fantastic dressing for salads, an ingredient for sauces, and used in some marinades. If mustard is not being used as a condiment or key ingredient, then its many benefits are being enjoyed in the form of mustard seeds, and mustard oil, both of which have proven benefits for the skin and body.

National Mustard Day Activities

Mustard is the favorite topping for hot dogs

It’s good for you

You can put it on almost anything

A National Hot Dog and Sausage Council survey found that 71% of people confirm mustard as their top hot dog condiment. It’s a staple at baseball games and other sporting events, always on hand to supplement the concession stand food. It’s the perfect garnish for a tasty treat — just make sure you pick up an extra napkin so you don’t spill any on your shirt!

It's well-known in science circles that the elements found in mustard seeds can stop cancer cell growth. Mustard is also used as a remedy for muscle pains and certain types of skin disorders. Mustard seeds come with high levels of calcium, magnesium and potassium. As a great addition to some of your favorite foods, mustard is a low-calorie, low-sugar alternative to other condiments.

Mustard isn’t just for hot dogs. With all the varieties, it’s the condiment for creatives: if you can dream it, you can achieve it! Try out a breakfast casserole infused with honey Dijon. Bake up some mustard-roasted potatoes. Glaze a ham with honey mustard. If you can’t let go of your traditional roots, have a Chicago-style hot dog with yellow mustard, chopped onions, relish, a pickle spear and tomato slices.

5 Facts About Mustard That You Don’t Know

Plant vs. condiment

More than just a condiment

Broccoli is mustard’s cousin

Mustard on the go

There is no ‘mustard yellow’

Mustard is a plant, and prepared mustard is a condiment — an important distinction to make.

The Ancient Greeks and Romans used mustard to soothe pains, cure stings and bites, and even ease toothaches.

As part of the Brassica family, mustard plants are relatives of broccoli.

King Louis XI refused to travel without mustard.

The color mustard yellow is made by adding turmeric and not actual mustard seeds.

Why We Love National Mustard Day

You can learn all about it at the National Mustard Museum

Host a mustard-tasting

Make your own mustard

Located in Middleton, Wisconsin, the National Mustard Museum is the birthplace of National Mustard Day and the Holy Grail for mustard lovers. Started by Barry Levenson in 1992, the museum is home to nearly 6,000 different types of mustards from all over the world. Stop by to see the Great Wall of Mustard, an antique collection of mustard pots, and try out a free mustard tasting! This free museum is open seven days a week.

Serve up pretzel rods, hot dog bites and pita bread for guests to test out as many types of mustard, as possible. Hit up your local store to buy out their mustard varieties. You should even try out a local artisan market to see if you can pick up additional, hard-to-find mustards. Place the different kinds in small serving dishes and let everyone try out all the combinations of snacks and toppings.

Who says that French’s and Grey Poupon should have the monopoly on good mustard? Try out your own recipe on National Mustard Day. Soak mustard seeds for a full day in your liquid of choice: vinegar, water, wine or even beer. Then, grind up the seeds in a food processor. Make the mustard to your liking by adding your favorite flavors, like brown sugar, honey or tarragon.

National Mustard Day

Looking for a flavor that adds a zing to your meal? Sometimes spicy, sometimes tangy, this condiment might just be what you're looking for!

Wondering exactly what kind of condiment gets its own celebration? It’s National Mustard Day!

History of National Mustard Day

National Mustard Day was founded on a whim by Jill Sengstock in 1988. It was only a few years before the day changed hands to the National Mustard Museum in 1991. The aim of the day is rather self-explanatory: to celebrate and honor one of the world’s most popular condiments!

From the Dijon variety to English Mustard, or a liberal helping on an All-American hotdog, this day is the perfect chance to voice a love (without looking a bit odd) for this most favorite flavor and condiment.

Mustard itself is believed to be over 5000 years old, with some people thinking that it originated in India when it was first cultivated in 3000 BC. Others, however, believe that it may have started in Ancient Egypt and then moved into Greece who then passed it on to the Romans.

After that, it was brought over to Britain by the Romans. They seem to have been the first to use it as a condiment, as well as a pickling spice, during the Roman Empire. It wasn’t until the 19th century, however, that the British became the finest mustard millers in the world.

In addition to taking it to Britain, the Romans also have been given credit for taking mustard to Northern France, where monks took on the job of cultivating it. In fact, it is believed that mustard actually got its name from the word “Mosto”, which was a grape wine that was mixed with ground mustard seeds.

The 13th century was the time when prepared mustard became something closer to what people know it to be today. Its use was made particularly popular by Pope John XXII who actually created a position for his nephew, titled the “Grand Mustard-Maker to the Pope”.

The yellow mustard that most Americans tend to put on their hot dogs was introduced in 1904. Some people say it was introduced in Rochester, New York, while others report it was at the St. Louis World’s Fair. But either way, it became super popular from that time on!

Most people who celebrate it think that this day cuts the mustard! (Pun very much intended).

How to Celebrate National Mustard Day

The celebration of National Mustard Day can come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, and can happen at home, at a friend’s house, or even out at a restaurant! From delicious foods to fun activities, this day brings celebration and enjoyment through ideas such as these:

Try Different Kinds of Mustard

Although many people’s experience with mustard is limited, this culinary delight actually has a significant number of varieties and flavors. Try these:

Dijon Mustard. Coming from the city in France where it got its name, Dijon mustard might be used on a sandwich or could be added to a vinaigrette dressing or using in a sauce in cooking. It is slightly creamy, pale yellow, and has a sharp, tangy flavor with some spicy kick.

English Mustard. A version of yellow mustard that is different from the American yellow mustard, this one is way stronger. People who apply it expecting it to taste like American mustard will likely be in for a super hot and spicy surprise!

Chinese Hot Mustard. This condiment can either be bought premade or mixed up at home using dry mustard powder with water. The chemical reaction between the two creates a super sharp, super spicy flavor that is used to add taste to meats or appetizers.

Whole Grain Mustard. This interesting and unique mustard mashes the mustard seeds together but doesn’t completely crush them, leaving a grainy, coarse type of paste. It is often made using wine, with brown and black seeds instead of the yellow ones, leaving it to pack quite the spicy punch!

Cook with Mustard

Adding mustard to the culinary repertoire can create a whole plethora of new flavors that are pleasing to the palette! Try out these interesting recipes in honor of National Mustard Day:

Blackberry and Mustard Jam. This sweet and spicy treat is easy to mix up using premade jam and blending it with mustard. Serve on crackers, toast or other breads to provide a unique flavor.

Honey Mustard Sauce with Soft Pretzel Bites. A fun twist on an old classic, pretzels dipped into any type of mustard are great, but honey mustard adds a sweetness that can’t be beat.

Dijon Mustard Salad Dressing. This is a delicious basic in the kitchen that can be easily made at home using a blend of olive oil, white wine vinegar, lemon juice and salt. For a sweeter version, try adding a bit of maple syrup to the mix. Serve over dark salad greens.

Deviled Eggs. This recipe might be called deviled, but it tastes like heaven! Mix the scooped out centers of hard boiled eggs and combine with mustard, mayonnaise, a bit of vinegar and some salt and pepper to taste. Fill the egg white bases up with the concoction and serve chilled.

Visit the Mustard Museum

Located in Middletown, Wisconsin, the Mustard Museum boasts the largest collection of mustard and mustard memorabilia in the world. The museum was started in 1992 when the founder opened the museum that would become one of the most popular attractions in the state. In fact, it has been featured by Oprah Winfrey, Jeopardy, and countless other television shows.

Admission is actually free (though they do take donations) so anyone can come to see the displays of more than 6000 different mustards from all 50 states as well as over 70 countries.

On National Mustard Day, the museum hosts a festival that includes special sampling as well as entertainment, music, games and various activities for the family. Some of the games include mustard bowling, mustard ring toss and even mustard painting. As it turns out, a museum about Mustard is almost as popular as a day dedicated to Mustard!

Try Mustard Beer

That’s right. This isn’t an error in typing or proofreading. This is actually a product that has been invented and marketed: it’s Mustard Beer.

In 2020, Oskar Blue and French’s Mustard in the United States paired up to offer Mustard Beer. With a slightly pungent smell, the beer was reported to have notes of citrus and coriander, with a very slight hint of actual mustard. It was a pale ale that many people like, even though it seems like an odd combination.

Admittedly, the brew was a one-off run that was created especially for National Mustard Day in 2020, but there’s always the possibility that the companies will pair up again and bring it back!

It’s time to celebrate and enjoy all of the spiciness that National Mustard Day can bring!
