Mustard Oil 250 ml — Sattva

What it is

SATTVA Sinepiõli 250 ml is an unrefined, cold-pressed mustard oil made from black mustard seeds. People usually choose this type of edible oil for its bold, warming taste and for its versatility: it brings character to salads, sauces and marinades, and it can also be used externally on the hair, scalp and body. Because it is cold-pressed and not refined, the oil keeps more of its natural aroma and the characteristic pungent note that mustard is known for.

In the kitchen

In food use, mustard oil is valued less as a neutral cooking fat and more as a flavouring oil. Its naturally occurring fatty acids give it a rich texture, while volatile mustard compounds create the sharp, spicy impression that can lift simple vegetable dishes, dressings and dips. This makes it a good choice for those who enjoy expressive, slightly peppery flavours and want something different from standard sunflower or olive oil. Since the taste is quite pronounced, even a small amount can noticeably change the finished dish.

External use in the Ayurvedic tradition

In Ayurvedic tradition, mustard oil has long been used not only in the kitchen but also for body applications. As a base oil, it spreads easily over the skin and hair:

• Skin: helps reduce dryness by forming a light protective layer that slows moisture loss.
• Scalp and hair: often used before washing as an oil mask to soften rough strands and improve manageability.
• Massage: many people appreciate its warming feel, especially in colder weather or after physical activity.
• Bath: added in a small amount, it can leave the skin feeling less tight after water exposure.

Who it suits and how to use it

This SATTVA food oil is best suited to people who like traditional, robust flavours or who want one multipurpose product for both culinary and external use. It fits well into a practical household setup:

• as a finishing oil for cold dishes;
• as a spicy accent in marinades;
• as a simple hair and scalp treatment before shampooing.

Important notes

• Because mustard oil is quite active in aroma and sensation, start with a modest amount in food or on the skin.
• Avoid prolonged high-heat cooking.
• If you are sensitive to mustard or reactive skin, patch-test first and discontinue use if irritation appears.
