Cold Pressed Process: The oil is extracted from mustard seeds at low temperatures. This method preserves the natural essential oils, antioxidants, and the signature sharp pungency that heat-refined oils often lose.
Nutrient Retention: Cold pressing keeps the Vitamin E and healthy fats intact, making it a healthier choice compared to highly processed alternatives.
Mustard oil has a high smoke point (approx. 250°C), making it excellent for high-heat cooking. However, to unlock its best flavor, there is a trick.
Smoking the Oil: Traditionally, mustard oil is heated in the pan until it reaches its smoking point and changes color from dark yellow to pale golden. This process reduces the raw pungency, mellowing the flavor into a nutty, sweet profile perfect for cooking.
Fish Curry: In Bengali cuisine (Maacher Jhol), mustard oil is non-negotiable. It cuts through the fishiness and adds a depth of flavor that complements turmeric and green chilies.
Vegetable Stir-Fries: Cooking bitter melon (karela), eggplant, or okra in mustard oil transforms their taste, adding a savory richness.
No Indian pickle is complete without mustard oil. It acts as a natural preservative, keeping pickles fresh for months while infusing the vegetables or mangoes with a sharp, tangy kick.

Digestive Aid: It stimulates the production of digestive juices, helping to improve appetite and digestion.
In many households, mustard oil is a multi-purpose essential.
