HEALTH & BENEFITS

Mustard is a good source of vitamins and minerals, including niacin, vitamin B6, iron, and magnesium. It may also have anti-inflammatory properties, making it beneficial for those with arthritis or other inflammatory conditions. The use of olive oil in the sauce provides healthy monounsaturated fats, which can be beneficial for heart health.
