The Pili Sarson Advantage: Why Yellow is Better than Black

While traditional black mustard oil is known for its eye-watering pungency, Yellow Mustard Oil is the sophisticated sibling. Sourced from high-quality yellow mustard seeds, this oil provides all the legendary health benefits of Sarson without the overwhelming “heat.”

At Swarn Kapila Organic Dairy Farm, we use the Lakdi Gani (Wooden Cold Press) method. Because wood is a natural insulator, the seeds are crushed at a low RPM (revolutions per minute), ensuring the temperature never crosses 40°C. This preserves the Allyl Isothiocyanate—the compound responsible for the oil’s antimicrobial properties—while maintaining a smooth, buttery palate.

A Heart-Healthy Kitchen Essential

Yellow Mustard Oil is one of the few oils that boasts a nearly perfect ratio of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids.

• Monounsaturated Fats (MUFA): Helps in reducing “bad” cholesterol (LDL) and maintaining a healthy heart.

• Natural Alpha-Linolenic Acid: Supports cardiovascular function and reduces inflammation in the body.

• Low Pungency: Unlike black mustard oil, it doesn’t overpower the natural flavor of your vegetables or meat, making it excellent for light sautéing and gourmet Indian dishes.

The Ultimate Secret for Perfect Pickles

If you are a fan of home-made Achaar (pickles), Wood Pressed Yellow Mustard Oil is your best friend. Its natural preservative properties prevent fungal growth, while its mild flavor allows the spices in your pickle to shine. It doesn’t leave that strong “mustard aftertaste,” ensuring your pickles taste balanced and authentic.
