Our Andante Mustard Powder comes from the Axten family farm in Western Canada. The mustard is intercropped with maple peas, which use the mustard plants as a natural trellis while providing the nitrogen they need. This is powerful powder, sweet and sharp, perfect for homemade mustard, pan sauces, potato salad, dressings, drink rims and adding a punch to everything you cook.

SOURCING
Axten Farms is a multigenerational farm with roots going back to 1916 based in Saskatchewan, Canada.
The mustard plant grows a few feet off the ground, with bright yellow flowers that turn into long, narrow pods reminiscent of pea pods, which are full of the spicy yellow seeds.
Mustard is a member of the Brassica family, which includes broccoli, cauliflower and kale. It's an excellent cover crop, which helps with pest management and acts as a natural fumigant.
