According to the expert, common mustard can significantly affect digestion and enhance the flavor of dishes, even though many consider it merely a meat accompaniment. She asserts that its impact may be even greater than anticipated.
Rusakova notes that mustard helps the body digest protein-rich foods thanks to its volatile compounds, which stimulate appetite and increase saliva production. These substances also contribute to fat breakdown and boost metabolism.
She added that mustard goes well with meats, fish, and salads, and is also used in marinades and sauces, enhancing the aroma and flavor of various foods, which makes it popular in home kitchens, especially when there is a need to strengthen the flavor of a dish.
The expert confirmed that mustard has antioxidant properties, thanks to its composition rich in vitamins A, D and E, in addition to a group of B vitamins, and a number of minerals such as iron, sodium, zinc and phosphorus.
However, despite these benefits, mustard is not suitable for everyone , as it may irritate a sensitive digestive system and cause allergic reactions in some people. Therefore, those with chronic digestive problems or urinary tract infections are advised to monitor their body's reaction when consuming it.
The expert concludes by emphasizing that the effect of spices varies from person to person .
