Mustard is not only a tasty addition to your sandwich or your salad dressing — it’s also a powerhouse of potential health benefits. But what with all the different types, you may find yourself asking: which mustard really is the healthiest?
The Health Benefits of Mustard
Mustard seeds — the source of all of the various forms of mustard — are nutrient-dense:
Omega-3 fatty acids
- Antioxidants
- Selenium, magnesium, and phosphorus
- Glucosinolates, with their anti-inflammatory and potential anti-cancer properties
- These compounds are capable of maintaining healthy hearts, enhancing digestion, and even reducing muscle pain.

- Often contains vinegar and turmeric — a bonus for digestion and inflammation.
Dijon Mustard
- Made from brown mustard seeds and white wine or vinegar.
- More heat and flavor, usually with fewer additives than mass-produced yellow mustard.
- A good choice if you’re watching your sodium (just check the label).
Spicy Brown Mustard
- Coarser and stronger in taste, made from brown mustard seeds.
- Generally has more of the beneficial compounds of the outer layer of the mustard seed.
- Great for those who want a kick and an added nutritional boost.
Whole Grain Mustard

So, Which Mustard Is the Healthiest?
Whole grain and hot brown mustards usually come in first as far as nutrition goes because they are less processed and contain more of the mustard seed’s inherent good. However, what truly makes a mustard healthy is its ingredients list — avoid added sugars, artificial preservatives, and high sodium content whenever possible.
