What is prepared mustard?

Prepared mustard is a condiment that is made from powdered or coarsely ground mustard seed that is combined with other ingredients, such as vinegar, turmeric, white wine, and sugar.

The term "prepared" refers to the fact that the ground mustard is mixed with other ingredients. There are different types of prepared mustards available, such as Dijon mustard and the standard bright yellow mustard referred to as ballpark mustard.

Prepared mustards are used as a condiment or seasoning and their flavours vary in sharpness, depending on the type of mustard seeds and other ingredients used to produce them.
