Mustard oil is produced from the seeds of the mustard plant and is a common ingredient in Indian cuisine. Traditionally extracted from the first pressing of mustard seeds, it has a high level of pungency and a strong aroma.
Mustard oil is the purest mustard oil and has a variety of uses. It's a good oil for hair and skin care, and when used as a cooking medium, it enhances the flavor of foods. Only the freshest and highest quality mustard seeds go into making the oil.
Health benefits - Mustard oil contains good amounts of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids (MUFA and PUFA). It is also a rich source of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.
Note: Due to U.S. FDA regulations, all mustard oil imported into the U.S. must be labeled "For External Use." It is quite common to boil the oil at a high temperature, to its smoking point, and allow it to cool before using it in cooking.
