Mustard is made from ground mustard seed, mixed with other ingredients, usually water, vinegar, and spice. No, there is not crab poop in it. Someone must be teasing you.

Any jar of mustard will have the ingredients listed somewhere on the outside of the jar, so you can know exactly what is in that particular mustard.

Perhaps some people may call the yellow goop in a crab, "the mustard," but it does not mean that mustard is made from any part of the crab.

Mustard is a thick condiment, a yellow or yellow-brown paste with a sharp taste that is prepared from the ground seeds of mustard plants (white or yellow mustard or Sinapis hirta, brown or indian mustard or Brassica juncea, and black mustard or Brassica nigra), by mixing them with water, vinegar or other liquids, and adding ingredients such as flour.

I think everyone missed the point of your question. I know exactly what you are talking about. The "mustard" of a crab. I have no idea what it comes from. I know that up north around Maryland they use it as a dip. I know that when my family catches crabs, we steam them whole but I usually wipe the mustard off of the meat.

Mustard history
Mustard is a member of the Brassica family of plants which bears tiny round edible seeds as well as tasty leaves. Its English name, mustard, is derived from a contraction of the Latin mustum ardens meaning burning wine. This is a reference to the spicy heat of the crushed mustard seeds and the French practice of mixing the ground seeds with must, the young, unfermented juice of wine grapes.

At first, mustard was considered a medicinal plant rather than a culinary one. In the sixth century B.C., Greek scientist Pythagoras used mustard as a remedy for scorpion stings. One hundred years later, Hippocrates used mustard in a variety of medicines and poultices. Mustard plasters were applied to "cure" toothaches and a number of other ailments.

Prepared mustard dates back thousands of years to the early Romans, who used to grind mustard seeds and mix them with wine into a paste not much different from the prepared mustards we know today.

The mustard seed is a prominent reference for those of the Christian faith, exemplifying something which is small and insignificant, which when planted, grows in strength and power. Pope John XXII was so fond of mustard that he created a new Vatican position - grand moutardier du pape (mustard-maker to the pope) - and promptly filled the post with his nephew.

In 1866, Jeremiah Colman, founder of Colman's Mustard of England, was appointed as mustard-maker to Queen Victoria. Colman perfected the technique of grinding mustard seeds into a fine powder without creating the heat which brings out the oil. The oil must not be exposed or the flavor will evaporate with the oil.

We all know that losers and quitters can't cut the mustard (live up to the challenge). And perhaps the reason ballpark mustard is so popular is because pitchers apply mustard to their fastballs to get those strike-outs. The disabling and even lethal chemical weapon known as mustard gas is a synthetic copy based on the volatile nature of mustard oils.

Mustard is ground from a seed. It definitely doesn't come from the sea.

I suppose if the field were next to the beach and a crab walked there one day.......It really is very unlikely
