mustard oil
Spicy cooking fat
Mustard oil is oil pressed from mustard seeds, used in South Asian cooking for its pungent, sharp flavor.
It has a high smoke point suited to frying.
In the United States, mustard oil is often sold "for external use only" due to FDA restrictions on erucic acid content, though it remains a cooking staple elsewhere.
The oil also appears in traditional medicine and massage.
