Heat and drought may be making Dijon mustard spicier

Original: Is your Dijon spicy? Heat and drought might be the cause

Climate conditions are reportedly affecting the flavour of Dijon mustard, with heat and drought stressing mustard plants in ways that can change the pungency of the seeds used to make it. Reports suggest hotter, drier growing seasons may be intensifying the mustard's kick, adding to earlier supply problems for Dijon following poor harvests in key producing regions of France and Canada.

Why now: Climate change is altering the taste of a well-known everyday product, which surprises and worries consumers.
