What food group is mustard under?

Mustard is a bit of a tricky one because it doesn't fit neatly into any of the main food groups. It's technically a condiment, but here's a breakdown of why:

* Not a vegetable: While mustard seeds are a vegetable, the prepared mustard we eat is a processed product, not a whole food.

* Not a protein: Mustard has a very small amount of protein.

* Not a carbohydrate: It's low in carbohydrates and mainly provides fat and sodium.

So, while mustard doesn't fit into a specific food group, it's often considered a condiment or a spice.
