What to know about Mustard Oil

Mustard oil has a distinctive sharp flavour and contains unsaturated fatty acids. However, some traditional mustard oils may contain high levels of erucic acid, which is restricted for food use in some countries. Suitability depends on local food regulations and the specific product.

How to use it in Pakistani meals

Use only oil specifically labelled and approved for edible use under applicable local regulations. Enjoy its strong flavour in appropriate recipes if the product is food-grade.

Choosing and storing quality ingredients
