Good? Bad? Ken 2010-08-01T00:04:08Z 2010-08-01T00:04:08Z <p>The yellow color comes from the spice turmeric, which contains the curcumin molecule, which is anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer. Turmeric is related to ginger.</p> <p>The curcumin isn't readily absorbed, but absorption is said to be greatly increased if taken along with piperine, which is in black pepper.</p> <p>But I'd guess that having some yellow mustard wouldn't provide a whole lot of curcumin anyway. Still, it can't hurt and spices are all generally good, IMO.</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/7963/whats-the-low-down-on-mustard-good-bad/7969#7969 Answer by Ellen for What's the low down on mustard?

I mix it with water. or Scotch, or white wine - whatever, to match the flavour of the food I'm eating it with. I love it!</p>
