Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Mustard

  • Metabolic Effect: Mustard can speed up metabolism and facilitate digestion due to its components. It also protects the body against free radicals thanks to its antioxidant properties.
  • Consumption Recommendation: You can consume mustard with meat, chicken, or vegetables. You can also use it to add flavor to your salads or sandwiches. However, it is important to avoid excessive consumption.
  • Things to Consider: It may cause allergic reactions in some people. Also, people with high blood pressure should consume it carefully due to its high sodium content. One teaspoon of mustard meets approximately 1/5 of your daily sodium needs.
  • Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories from mustard, it is enough to do about 2 minutes of light-paced walking. You can also burn calories from other foods with longer activities.
