About this oil
Cold pressed from yellow mustard seeds in a traditional kachi ghani, this mustard oil carries that characteristic pungency and deep golden colour that North Indian kitchens swear by. Rich in omega-3 fatty acids and allyl isothiocyanate — the compound responsible for its distinct flavour. Perfect for pickling, tadka, and Bengali cooking.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is mustard oil safe to eat?
Yes. Mustard oil has been used for cooking in India for thousands of years. The erucic acid concern was based on very high doses in animal studies — normal culinary use is safe and beneficial.
Why does mustard oil sting the eyes when heated?
The pungency comes from allyl isothiocyanate, released when the oil is heated. This is the same compound that gives mustard its heat. It dissipates quickly and is safe.
