Mustard Oil

Mustard oil is a pungent, golden-yellow oil extracted from mustard seeds. Widely used in South Asian cooking, it adds a sharp, spicy flavor to food. Rich in monounsaturated fats, omega-3 fatty acids, and natural antioxidants, mustard oil is also valued in traditional medicine and massage for its warming and antibacterial properties. When heated, its strong aroma mellows, making it suitable for frying, pickling, and sautéing.
