i mean mustard (the condiment) is basically just a flavourful sugary starch paste, anything tastes good with 15 grams of sugar.
It’s also a completely different part of the plant, it’s like going “man i like apples but the seeds taste horrible! how odd”
The mustard you’re eating seems to be quite different from mine. Mine has a whopping 2.6 grams of carbohydrates per 100g, some of the brassica vegetables probably have more than that.
Actually, the mustard in my fridge contains more fat and protein than starch or sugar. And that’s actually very common for seeds, many of them contain more than 50% fat.
And y’know, the essential oils kind of dominate the taste. It’s not peanut butter FFS.

uhhh, condiment mustard is made of mustard seed, not sure how you imagined it working otherwise?
and seeds are kinda by definition starchy, they need starch to store energy for the plant to sprout through the soil.
