Most foodies can relate with the mouth-watering experience of watching the hot dog guy drizzle mustard on their order.
Don’t worry. We won’t judge because we love it too.
Mustard is not just a condiment anymore, but it has become a food culture on its own. You can drizzle it over almost anything you can think of.
If you’re having a hard time finding mustard in the grocery store, look no further. We can help.
As a bonus, we’ll throw in tips on how to make mustard on your own at home.
Where is mustard found?
Mustard can be found in the Condiments section of the grocery store. That’s also where you’ll find all kinds of spices for sauces, as well as mustards, and even mayo combinations.
However, due to variations in the physical layout of most stores, there could be a Seasoning/Spices aisle separate from the Condiments section.
So keep a close eye out for mustard in those areas. On rare occasions, you can spot mustard at the in-store Delicatessen, if there’s one.
That’s because they mostly sell ready-to-eat food items like burgers with pastrami, roast beef, or sausages, which incorporate mustard in their preparation.

How do you make yellow mustard from scratch?
As promised, we’re going to share our secret on how to make mustard from scratch.
What you’ll need
- Three-quarters cup of yellow mustard powder
- 1 cup of water
- Half-cup of distilled white vinegar
- One teaspoon of turmeric, garlic powder,
- Half teaspoon of salt
- One-quarter of cayenne powder
The process
Get a medium size bowl and mix mustard powder, water, vinegar and other seasonings, together.
Preferably, use a whisk, and not a wooden spoon. When you’re sure there’s no lump, boil your mixture in a pot on low heat for about 15 minutes.
Occasionally, stir the mixture until it’s as thick as you would prefer. When that’s done, store it in an airtight container and toss it in the fridge.
And there you have it!
