Is dry mustard the same as ground mustard?

Answer 1

No. Dry mustard is a powedery preparation of dried mustard seeds. Dijon mustard is a wet mustard, of a recipe traditional to the Dijon region of France. The two are difficult to interchange as Dijon mustard is much saltier than dried mustard and, being wet, will not combine readily with dry ingredients.

Answer 2

"Dry" mustard is ground mustard seeds, just ground up. The powder is yellow because yellow mustard seeds were used. Mustard seeds also come in red and black, and are used whole in many cuisines, especially Indian, where they are browned in oil with other whole spices before adding other ingredients. Using whole-seed spices generally provides a richer, fresher flavor.

Answer 3

I think the answer is in the question.

Wet mustard is not the same as dry mustard. Wet and dry are mutually exclusive.

Wet mustard is usually found in jars, whereas dry mustard is a yellow powder sold in tins.

Another way at looking at it is:

Mustard seeds are ground up to make a powder: Dry Mustard. Manufacturers and home cooks, mix this powder with a liquid (Wine: French, Beer: German, Water: English) to make a wet mustard.
