Mustard seed oil

Mustard seed oil, for making soap and cosmetics. Very good hair soap oil.

Mustard oil, its pungent essential oils make it a powerful healing oil. It only develops its effect in water; without water it is a cooking oil like any other.

MUSTARD OIL CONTAINS MANY FATTY ACIDS AND ALSO ESSENTIAL OILS

Mustard oil is made from the cold-pressed oil of mustard seeds. The seeds and grains contain essential mustard oils, which give the mustard a spicy taste. These essential oils are also found in horseradish, radishes and cress.

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

The mustard oil itself is not spicy and even tastes a bit bland. Only when mixed with water does it produce the typical spicy taste that we know from mustard .

Mustard oil contains a variety of fatty acids:

• It consists mostly of monounsaturated fatty acids.
• But it also contains essential polyunsaturated fatty acids – both omega-6 fatty acids (linoleic acid) and omega-3 fatty acids . Both together are important for a healthy immune system.

However, mustard oil also contains the controversial fatty acid erucic acid. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) warns of possible heart disease with higher concentrations of erucic acid in cooking oil, as well as in rapeseed oil . Specially bred mustard and rapeseed plants contain less erucic acid and are considered safe for consumption.

When buying, make sure that the mustard oil is approved as a food in the EU. The EU only allows mustard oils with a high erucic acid content for external use. You can buy organic mustard oil from Germany or Austria in well-stocked organic markets. Or you can order online from organic oil mills, such as Ölmühle Solling , Ölwerk or from ** Amazon .

MUSTARD OIL: EXOTIC COOKING OIL WITH MANY BENEFITS

You can use mustard oil in the kitchen like any other cooking oil. It can withstand high temperatures very well, so you can use it for frying or deep-frying. However, the heat causes the essential mustard oils to break down and the oil loses its spiciness.

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

• Indian curry dishes in particular get their typical taste from mustard oil.
