FAQs
1. How is Yellow Mustard Oil different from Black Mustard Oil?
While both come from mustard seeds, yellow mustard oil is softer in taste and aroma. It’s better suited for lighter dishes, stir-fries, and everyday use, whereas black mustard oil is sharper and more pungent, often used in pickling and bold-flavoured recipes.
2. Does it have a strong smell like black mustard oil?
No. Yellow mustard oil has a softer, subtler aroma compared to black mustard oil. It won’t overpower your dishes or your kitchen.
3. Can I use it for pickling?
You can, especially for milder pickles. However, for long-lasting preservation and deeper flavour, black mustard oil is usually preferred.
4. Why does the colour of the oil sometimes vary slightly?
Natural, unrefined oils can vary in shade depending on seed variety, harvest season, and batch. Slight variations are signs of purity, not a flaw.
5. Can people with sensitive stomachs use Yellow Mustard Oil?
Yes. Its milder profile makes it easier to digest than black mustard oil, making it a great fit for those with sensitive stomachs or milder dietary preferences.
6. Is Yellow Mustard Oil better for summers or winters?
It’s versatile year-round. In summer, it feels light and cooling and in winter, it still supports digestion and adds gentle warmth to meals.
7. What makes Originally Desi’s Yellow Mustard Oil special?
It’s made in small batches using native yellow mustard seeds, wood-pressed at low temperatures, and handmade on our farm in Haryana.
8. Is Yellow Mustard Oil suitable for vegan or plant-based diets?
Yes, absolutely. It’s plant-based, chemical-free, and perfect for vegan or vegetarian cooking.
9. How much Yellow Mustard Oil can I use daily?
1 to 2 tablespoons a day is ideal for most adults. It’s rich in good fats, but moderation is key, especially if you're managing cholesterol or weight.
10. Can I use Yellow Mustard Oil in place of ghee?
Yes, especially in plant-based diets. While the flavour profile is different, it works well for sautéing, tempering, or even drizzling over dishes as a finishing touch.
