Northeast Kingdom Mustard Company / Nature's Acres Homestead

Deep in the heart of Vermont's magical Northeast Kingdom, Mark and Lynn Royer produce some of the world's finest mustards and chutney in their timber-frame home. Since 1994, they have tempted the taste buds of the pickiest condiment critics with their all natural products -- no preservatives, additives, or fillers. Many people have become quite addicted to their wholesome products - we think you might too!

Like most foods with ancient roots, mustard has been heralded as a curative. It stimulates appetite and digestion, and clears the sinuses in much the same way as chiles, which are said to be as effective as commercial decongestants. Mustard increases blood circulation, hence its use as mustard plaster, a dressing used to bring increased blood flow to inflamed areas of the body. Some Vermonters believe that mustard flour sprinkled in your socks can save your toes from frostbite!

One of mustard's greatest health benefits is that it provides tremendous flavor for few calories and little fat. A gram of mustard flour contains just 4.3 calories and simple mustard preparations can be eaten with impunity by nearly everyone. Mustard itself contains no cholesterol, only trace amounts of vegetable fat, and is between 25-32% protein! So enjoy mustard even if it is good for you.
