Ever wondered why your grandmother swore by mustard oil? There’s a reason it’s been a trusted name in Indian homes for generations. From cooking to skincare, mustard essential oil holds its ground as a multi-purpose staple. At Ekas Healthy Foods, we believe in going back to our roots—where purity meets purpose. If you’re looking to add something meaningful to your everyday routine, this might just be it.
Let’s break it down.
What Is Mustard Essential Oil?
Mustard essential oil is derived through steam distillation of mustard seeds. It’s not just regular cooking oil. This form is more concentrated, aromatic, and packed with natural compounds. At Ekas Healthy Foods, our wood-pressed mustard oil retains the soul of tradition while keeping harmful additives away.
Why It Belongs in Your Kitchen
Natural Flavour Booster
Tired of bland food? Just a dash of mustard essential oil can change that. Use it in your tadka or sauté—it adds depth and warmth without overpowering the dish.
Great for Pickles and Preserves
This oil has strong antibacterial properties. That’s why it’s often the oil of choice in traditional pickles. No preservatives needed.
High Smoke Point
Planning to fry or deep-cook something desi-style? Mustard oil handles the heat. Literally. It stays stable even at high temperatures.
Benefits Beyond Cooking
For Skin and Hair
Mix it with coconut or almond oil. Apply gently on skin or scalp. It may help soothe dryness and flakiness. Massage routines with mustard oil are age-old traditions in Indian households.
Eases Cold and Cough
Warm mustard oil with garlic and apply it on the chest and soles. It’s a go-to home remedy, especially in the colder months.
Boosts Circulation
