Mustard Oil
Mustard Oil is a pungent cooking oil commonly used in South Asian cuisines (often called Sarson Oil or Rai Ka Tel) for frying, pickles and finishing dishes. It is prized for its strong, mustardy aroma and high smoke point. Nutritionally, Mustard Oil is almost entirely fat with 100g of fat per 100g; it is rich in monounsaturated fats, contains plant omega-3 (ALA), and provides vitamin E, so it contributes beneficial fatty acids and some antioxidant vitamin activity. Because it is calorie-dense and contains negligible protein or fiber, it’s typically used in small amounts as a flavoring or cooking medium. Its fat profile makes it a better choice than many saturated fats, but portion control is still important when aiming for a balanced diet.
