Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why is this oil so pungent?
Answer: The pungency comes from a natural compound called Allyl Isothiocyanate (AITC). We use the Cold Press (Kachi Ghani) method which retains these volatile compounds. Refined oils lose this pungency; our virgin oil keeps the "kick" intact.
2. Is this suitable for making pickles?
Answer: Yes. It is the best oil for pickles. Its high pungency acts as a natural antimicrobial agent, preventing fungus and keeping pickles fresh for years. This is the exact grade used by major Indian pickle brands.
3. What is the difference between Black and Yellow Mustard Oil?
Answer: Black Mustard Oil is dark, strong, and very pungent (used for pickles and strong curries). Yellow Mustard Oil is golden, mild, and non-irritating (used for delicate dressings and baby massage).
4. Does it need to be heated before cooking?
Answer: In traditional Indian cooking, Black Mustard Oil is heated until it reaches the smoking point (where white smoke appears). This reduces the extreme sharpness and releases a sweet, aromatic flavor ideal for curries.
5. Is it safe for massage?
Answer: Yes, for adults. It is a "warming oil" excellent for winter massage and relieving joint pain. However, it can be too strong for sensitive skin or babies (for babies, we recommend our Yellow Mustard Oil).
