Selected ingredientマスタードシード mustard seed IngredientRole: Main ingredient, pungencyThe seeds of the mustard plant. They are used whole, not ground, and you can see the grains through the jar. Ingredients are listed in order of weight, so this is the largest one.

Copied from the package as of the date checked. The label is shown in Japanese as printed; tap an ingredient to see its English name and role. The links in the table below lead to our Ingredients A–Z and food additive database. The content is written as “1瓶” (1 jar), with no weight in grams. The nutrition facts are given per jar, but the label on the photographed jar was peeling and the numbers could not be read accurately, so they are not shown here. The label says “開封後は冷蔵で保存し、お早めにお召し上がりください” (after opening, store in the refrigerator and eat soon). The ingredients in the list are separated by “・” instead of “、”. The product name at the top of the label is peeling after “マスタード…” and cannot be read, so the product name is unknown. It was sold in the store at Michi-no-Eki Izumi Yama-ai no Sato (Izumi, Osaka Prefecture); the same Michi-no-Eki's online shop does not list it.

Fewer food additives is one thing to consider when choosing. Not using food additives does not in itself mean a product is safer or better for health. Labels can change with package redesigns, so please check the actual label when you buy.
