Nutritional Information
Mustard oil is a plant-based fat pressed from mustard seeds.

For exact nutrition values and guidance, refer to the label and Nutrition Facts panel where provided.

• Use in Kashmiri dishes such as dum aloo and haak
• Drizzle a few drops into aloo bharta or baingan bharta for sharp flavor


Frequently Asked Questions
Why do some mustard oil bottles say for external use only?
US labeling rules for mustard oil differ from those in South Asia, so some brands label their bottles for external use. Always follow the specific wording on your bottle.
Can I use mustard oil for hair massage?
Many families traditionally use mustard oil for massage. Do a patch test first and follow any directions on the label.
How should I store mustard oil?
Keep it capped in a cool, dry cupboard away from sunlight. Its strong aroma is natural and does not mean it has spoiled.
