It can sometimes come to our noses, but mustard is also known to have many benefits for the body. This condiment, much appreciated by the French, can indeed be very useful. And since it comes in all its forms, from the strongest to the softest, there's plenty to choose from.
RICH IN NUTRIENT
Mustard is very low in fat: per 100 grams, it contains only 66 calories, and 4 grams of fat. It can therefore be associated with a slimming diet. Especially since it is rich in calcium, phosphorus, potassium and vitamin A and C.
ANTIOXIDANT POWER
Antioxidants help fight free radicals that promote aging of cells in the body. It is found in mustard grains: in particular, we find carotenoids and glucosinolates.
PROMOTES DIGESTION
A little mustard doesn't hurt your stomach. Better, it promotes digestion thanks to the gastric juice and the saliva that it will trigger. Finally, the condiment is also highly recommended in case of constipation.
EFFECTIVE AGAINST AFFECTIONS
Mustard seeds will help relieve respiratory ailments common in winter such as colds or bronchitis. They will help to decongest the airways. To do this, you have to prepare a poultice and not directly swallow a large spoonful of Dijon mustard: you will grind mustard seeds to make flour. Combined with water, it will form a paste that will be wrapped in a cloth and placed in the lungs for 5 minutes.
GIVES ENERGY
Mustard leaves are very rich in vitamin C. They will therefore provide the body with its fair share of energy. In addition, their "mustard" taste will make a difference in a salad or with cold meat.
