Mustard oil is a versatile vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of the mustard plant (Brassica spp.). It is widely used in cooking, particularly in Indian and South Asian cuisines, for its distinctive pungent flavor and aroma. Mustard oil has a high smoke point, making it suitable for frying and sautéing. Rich in monounsaturated fats and omega-3 fatty acids, it offers various health benefits, including supporting heart health and reducing inflammation. It also contains antioxidants and essential vitamins. Besides culinary uses, mustard oil is employed in traditional medicine and skincare for its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. However, in some regions, its use is regulated due to its erucic acid content, which can be harmful in large quantities.
