What makes our our mustard oil so special

Pure: 100% pure mustard oil. 0% trans fats, additives, preservatives, or artificial ingredients—we just won’t allow it!

Cold-pressed, extra virgin: We buy the best seeds from farmers and press them in a traditional wooden press (kacchi ghani), keeping nutrients, antioxidants, and flavour intact. We don’t use any heat, steam, or chemicals, such as hexane. Our method gives a lower yield but gives you the highest quality oil.

Unprocessed, unrefined: Our mustard oil does not undergo any of the processing that commercial refined mustard oil goes through, such as deodorisation or bleaching. We retain all the natural goodness of the oil.

Traditional heirloom seeds (देसी बीज): Our mustard oil is made from indigenous Indian varieties of mustard and is non-GMO.

Quality you can smell and taste: Our mustard oil is a deep golden oil with the distinct, pungent aroma and rich taste of pure mustard.

Health benefits: Unrefined mustard oil has an ideal ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids; it is also low in saturated fatty acids and rich in monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA), making it extremely heart-friendly.

How to store: Refrigerate the bottle after opening it; keep the cap shut tight. Unrefined oils are fragile compounds and are best consumed within three to four months of the date of packaging. The oil may appear cloudy when stored in your fridge—this is absolutely normal.

Other uses: Mustard oil is excellent for skin and hair and can be used as a massage oil. Traditionally, it has also been used with salt to massage the gums for oral health.
