Mustard oil contains many fatty acids and also essential oils.
Mustard oil consists of cold-pressed oil from mustard seeds. The seeds and grains contain essential oils that ensure the mustard has a spicy flavour. These essential oils are also available in radishes or watercress.

The mustard plant originally comes from Asia and arrived in Europe in the late Middle Ages. Mustard oil is still widely used in India today. Traditional Indian medicine, Ayurveda, also uses hot essential oils for healing massages.

It's not spicy in itself, and it even tastes a bit bland. Only when mixed with water does the typically spicy flavour known as mustard emerge.

In addition, it contains various fatty acids.

They mostly consist of simple unsaturated fatty acids


It also contains essential polyunsaturated acids: omega-6 fatty acids (linoleic acid) and omega-3 fatty acids
Together, they are important for a healthy immune system.
However, the oil also contains controversial erucic acid. Higher concentrations of erucic acid in edible oil, as well as rapeseed oil, are warned about possible heart disease. Mustard and rapeseed plants specially grown contain less erucic acid and are considered safe for consumption.
When buying it, make sure it is approved as food. You can get it at well-stocked organic markets or online.

Exotic cooking oil with many benefits
You can use mustard oil like any other cooking oil. It supports high temperatures very well, so you can use it for frying or baking. However, due to heat, essential oils disintegrate and the oil loses its bitter taste.

Unlike olive oil, for example, mustard oil only produces gases that are harmful to health at temperatures around 250 degrees. This smoke is suspected of being carcinogenic.

Indian curry dishes in particular get their typical flavour.
The cold oil gives the sauces a spicy note.
It has healing properties when it comes into contact with water and is released.
You can use it externally, for massages, baths, foot baths or wet towels.
