Mustard powder from Malwatte, packed in a flat printed sachet that holds 30g. Mustard seed is ground to a fine yellow powder; mixed with a little cold water and left for ten minutes, it turns into a sharp, hot table mustard.
The powder also adds a gentle bite to sauces and pickles without the texture of whole seeds. Malwatte Valley Plantations PLC has exported since 1992 and processes and packs its spices in its own factories, which hold ISO 22000 certification.
