The tradition
That mustard is something special is also shown by the origin of the saying "add your mustard". This originates from the 17th century, when mustard was very valuable and the addition of mustard made a meal more precious.  Our mustard has also been in the tradition of our pharmacist family for four generations. Its origin is an old handwritten recipe by Dr Philipp Hohnstein's great-grandfather, the pharmacist Philipp Pistner.
 
The black mustard seed
We only use black mustard seeds for our brine mustard. Compared to white mustard seeds, which are usually used, black mustard is much sharper and contains particularly high levels of sinigrin (a mustard oil glycoside with many proven positive health effects). The pungency of black mustard naturally clears the airways and stimulates digestion, so it can also be used for loss of appetite, flatulence, and constipation. 
 
The best thing about our mustard: there is a lot of evidence that the mustard oils of the black mustard seed have antioxidant, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and anticarcinogenic effects.
 
Bad Windsheim Natural Brine
In addition, our mustard contains the valuable Bad Windsheim natural brine. The brine comes from the depths of the earth and is rich in valuable minerals and trace elements. Natural brine is therefore also used for numerous medical applications. According to the Bavarian Spa Association, it is particularly suitable for skin diseases, psoriasis, neurodermatitis for exhaustion, stress, burnout, and respiratory diseases such as asthma, COPD, colds, and hay fever. Our brine mustard mainly serves the good taste. It is well known that health promotion and enjoyment complement each other harmoniously. The special ingredients are the basis of the unique taste of our brine mustard. 
 
A bratwurst or a steak enjoyed with our mustard is therefore healthy: mustard intercepts the radicals produced during grilling, promotes digestion, and increases energy consumption ("heats up"). It is also a special treat.
 
Also externally
Mustard can also be used externally: Mustard compresses have an intensely warming effect and can relieve joint and back pain. Warm mustard footbaths are also good for cold feet, colds and bladder infections.
