Description

Mustard oil is a cooking oil extracted from mustard seeds (yellow, brown, or black). It has a distinctive strong, pungent flavor and is widely used in Indian, Bangladeshi, and East Asian cuisines, especially for frying, seasoning, and in pickles.

The oil is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals. It is known for its anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and digestive benefits. Mustard oil also has a high smoke point, making it ideal for deep frying and cooking at high temperatures.

In many regions, it is used in both refined and unrefined forms, with the unrefined variety retaining more of its natural flavor and health benefits.
