The Difference Between Dijon and Yellow Mustard. Mustard has long been used as a favorite condiment by people who want to add extra flavor to their hot dogs, meats and other foods; yellow mustard is just one type of condiment to use. Mustard comes from the seeds of a mustard plant, and it is made by combining them with vinegar, water, spices and flavorings. The end result is a thick paste that varies in color from brown to a rich yellow.

Yellow mustard can provide some protein, fiber and vitamins -- such as vitamin C and many of the B-complex vitamins. It is particularly rich in several minerals that are important for good health.
