About Mustard oil
Wikipedia Article About Mustard oil on Wikipedia

Mustard oil can be extracted from the seeds. The seeds, particularly the white ones, can also be ground into a flour, and mixed to a thick paste with a little water to make the condiment mustard. The ground mustard powder is usually mixed with ordinary flour to reduce the strength of the resulting condiment.

The term mustard oil is used for two different oils that are made from mustard seeds:


 * a fatty vegetable oil resulting from pressing the seeds,
 * an essential oil resulting from grinding the seeds, mixing them with water, and extracting the resulting volatile oil by distillation.

It is used for preserving food and making pickles in Pakistani cuisine.
