Add Protein to Your Dishes Naturally
Mustard seeds are an excellent plant-based protein source, making them an ideal ingredient for both high-protein and plant-based product formulations. With growing consumer demand for nutritious, protein-rich options, our mustard varieties provide the perfect solution to help meet this need.
Yellow Mustard
Yellow mustard seeds (Sinapis alba) contain around 25% protein by weight, making them a valuable addition to any recipe. This high protein content, combined with beneficial polysaccharide gum and oil components, makes yellow mustard a useful and economical ingredient to enhance both the nutritional and textural properties of food products. Yellow mustard is particularly well-suited for applications that require a natural protein boost without compromising taste or texture.
Oriental Mustard
Oriental mustard seeds (Brassica juncea) are rich in protein, offering an excellent way to improve the nutritional profile of your dishes. Research shows that the protein in some Oriental Mustard varieties can be effectively extracted for use in food products, making it a valuable ingredient for boosting protein content. In addition, the functional properties of oriental mustard proteins, such as emulsification and water-binding, make them particularly versatile and valuable in product development.
Dark Husk Mustard
Dark husk mustard seeds are high in protein. Studies show these seeds contain protein levels from around 32 to 36% protein. This robust protein profile provides a valuable option for catering to the growing demand for plant-based protein sources, contributing to the nutritional and functional attributes of a wide range of food applications.
