mild mustard

Subtle yellow spread

Mild mustard is a variety of prepared mustard with reduced heat and sharpness, typically made with less pungent seeds or tempered with vinegar, sugar, or other ingredients.

Yellow mustard, the standard American ballpark condiment, is the most familiar mild mustard.

The term distinguishes gentler preparations from spicier varieties like Dijon or hot English mustard.
