Mustard, condiment made from the pungent seeds of either of two main herbs belonging to the family Brassicaceae. Both white, or yellow, mustard and brown mustard are widely used as a condiment with various foods, particularly cold meats, sausages, and salad dressings.

Mustard, known as moutarde in French, is most commonly known as a prepared condiment sold in jars or bottles. This spreadable product is a mixture of dried mustard seeds (whole or ground into a powder), water, vinegar, or other liquids.
