WHY IT'S KETO-FRIENDLY

  • Versatile: great in marinades, dressings, and dips
  • Pairs well with high-fat meats and cheeses
  • Shelf-stable, easy keto pantry staple

HEALTH BENEFITS

  • Mustard seed compounds (allyl isothiocyanate) may have anti-inflammatory properties

  • Contains trace minerals (selenium, manganese)
