Organic Mustard Oil 500ml — Cold Pressed, Raw & Pungent
Dhatu Organics Organic Mustard Oil is cold pressed from certified organic mustard seeds — raw, unrefined, and bursting with the sharp, pungent character that defines authentic North and East Indian cooking. Unlike refined mustard oils that strip allyl isothiocyanates (the active compounds behind mustard's heat and benefits), our cold pressed version retains every bit of its natural potency, Omega-3 content, and traditional flavour.
Nutritional & Functional Highlights
- High in MUFA (59%) — Oleic and erucic acids for heart-healthy, stable cooking.
- Omega-3 rich (ALA) — Supports brain function, joint health, and inflammation balance.
- Allyl Isothiocyanate — The bioactive compound that gives mustard oil its heat; known for antimicrobial properties.
- Selenium & Antioxidants — Natural preservation of nutrients through cold pressing.
- High Smoke Point (~250°C refined; ~180°C cold pressed) — Excellent for high-heat Indian cooking.
Traditional Uses
- Cooking: Essential in Bengali, Bihari, Kashmiri, and Punjabi cuisines. Perfect for fish fry, sarson da saag, pickles, and chutneys.
- Pickling: The antimicrobial properties make it the traditional oil of choice for achaar.
- Massage oil: Traditional Ayurvedic use for body and scalp massage; warming and stimulating.
- Dental & oral care: Oil pulling with mustard oil is a traditional practice for gum health.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is cold pressed mustard oil safe for consumption?
In India, cold pressed mustard oil (kachi ghani / wooden press) has been used for centuries and is considered safe and healthy. Note: In some Western countries, mustard oil is sold as a topical product only due to erucic acid content. In India and most of Asia, it is a staple edible cooking oil.
What does "kachi ghani" mean?
"Kachi Ghani" literally means raw or cold wooden-press extraction. It refers to the traditional method of pressing mustard seeds slowly in a wooden Ghani (a large wooden mortar and pestle type press) without applying heat — preserving the pungent allyl compounds and full fatty acid profile.
Why is mustard oil pungent and yellow?
The pungency comes from allyl isothiocyanate — a natural bioactive compound released when mustard seeds are pressed. The deep yellow colour comes from beta-carotene and other natural pigments in the seeds. Both are signs of authentic, unrefined oil. Refined mustard oil is pale and mild because these compounds have been removed.
Can mustard oil be used for hair?
Yes. Mustard oil is one of the most traditional hair oils in India, known to stimulate hair growth, strengthen roots, combat dandruff, and keep the scalp warm. Its Omega-3 and Vitamin E content support healthy hair.
Does the pungent smell go away when cooking?
Yes. Heating mustard oil briefly before adding other ingredients (a practice common in Indian cooking) reduces the pungency significantly, mellowing to a pleasant, slightly nutty flavour. This also helps remove the raw erucic acid's sharpness from the palate.
