How to Make Homegrown Homemade Mustard

This video shows how to make homemade mustard from homegrown mustard seed without sugar or cooking. It's a very simple and healthy recipe base to use as is or to expand on for other variations as you wish. Enjoy!

Self Sufficient Me is based on our small 3-acre property/homestead in SE Queensland Australia about 45kms north of Brisbane - the climate is subtropical (similar to Florida). I started Self Sufficient Me in 2011 as a blog website project where I document and write about backyard food growing, self-sufficiency, and urban farming in general. I love sharing my foodie and DIY adventures online so come along with me and let's get into it! Cheers, Mark :)

Handmaking mustard used to be less of a hassle than you think. They placed the soaked mustard seed in a wooden bowl and added a stone cannonball of about 10 cm diameter. Then you just let the bowl roll around the bowl until the mustard is to your liking. I worked it to the consistancy of your mustard in about half an hour. Not hard to do, just timeconsuming. By the way, your recipe is the same as what we in the Netherlands know as "Groninger mosterd" and is as old as the middle ages!
Cheers, Dick

Fantastic channel! My wife introduced me to your channel, and I will be honest and say it took me a while to get used to your style, but now I am absolutely hooked. I also like the fact that you are a southern hemisphere grower like myself, and I can directly relate to your seasonal changes, unlike most other Youtube channels. Keep up the good work! Cheers from South Africa.PS. I will definitely try this mustard recipe.

Hi there Mark Thankyou for helping keeping me sane during the lockdown period here in Fremantle. I live in an apartment with no garden and I have been giving my mates and family so much knowledge about how to grow vegetables and how they should all have chooks etc Thankyou heaps as well as watching Gardening Australia for telling others to call me for any gardening advice. I am also pissed off with myself for when I had my own house for all those years that the only gardening I did was prune the roses and give flowers to the barmaids for good service 🤣👍Keep up the good educational work as it’s brilliant 👍👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺😎😎😎

I really enjoy your channel Mark. I love the variety of information and topics. I'm especially fond of the way you show the process start to finish. Like in this video for instance you show how grow and gather the seed to make the mustard as well as sharing the recipe. I often wish people would talk more about how they preserve and utilize the crops they're growing. You truly give the essence of self-sufficiency in your approach. You do a great job!

I wouldn't have thought to grow my own mustard, keen to plant them now

[peachesandapril]

Thank you! I have wanted to make my own mustard for ages!! You have re inspired me to do it.

I love stone ground mustard. They also make amazing greens.

[danandkiko]

Definitely going to do that simple recipe! Just started planting mustard. Thanks!

Hey Mark, from what you describe of the taste, and the way your mustard looks, it reminds me of our Dutch 'Groninger Mosterd'! Would definitely love to make that myself, so thank you for sharing this.

Nice video mate! The mustard looks great!!

[masterschroder]

I had no idea that that's how you could make mustard. Amazing video.

I love mustard. I can't wait to grow it!

[clintcowles]

I think it looked great the way it is. And I think it would taste fine too. A childhood friend of mine. His parents had a very big and very nice garden. I remember they grew mustard seed too. His mother and father are still alive but unable to garden anymore as they are both in their nineties. She baked her own bread and canned food. I really wish I had an interest in the process back then. I feel sad when I think about all that knowledge that has not been passed on. Their kids do not garden nor do they can. I've been a bit of a loner all my life and now with convid....no one comes around at all anymore. Sad days we are in.

Thanks so much for this video! I can't wait to grow this in my garden and start making my own mustard. Also thanks for pointing out how much sugar can be in store bought mustards (and most foods).

Great show I'm now excited to get and grow mustard

[saintmaxmedia]

Inspired by your video, I did some research and decided to purchase a few different varieties of mustard, Of course I got Ruby Streaks and Calentine that is used to purify the soil of pathogenic fungi (source of most diseases in fruit trees and other plants) and other pathogens. There is a specific way to do it to get the benefit of this property. I got also Molokhia, and couple of others, like yellow mustard that is most common for making mustard. LOVE THIS IDEA!!! THANK YOU!!!

It took years for me to realize: the strange-looking bush in the "no man's land" part of my garden is actually a fabulous mustard-jungle! What an amazing plant: salad, spice and medicine in one package!

[smokeweed]

Thanks mate, kinda like your take on making mustard. Gotta try it out. I kinda don't like the cooking method. May be i will eyeball it with a little turmeric, garlic, green chilli and cayenne pepper. Enhance the flavour. Cheers.
