Kshira Organics Wood Pressed Black Mustard Oil — Kachi Ghani

• Native Black Mustard Seeds (Rai / Kali Sarson) — Sourced exclusively from the mustard-rich farming regions of Bharatpur, Tonk, and Shri Ganganagar, Rajasthan. The native black mustard variety is prized for its higher pungency, richer glucosinolate content, and more intense flavour profile compared to yellow mustard or hybrid varieties. Handpicked, sun-dried, and cold-pressed without chemicals, additives, or preservatives.

Store your Kshira Organics Wood Pressed Black Mustard Oil in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve its natural pungency, dark golden colour, and nutritional integrity. Keep the cap tightly sealed after every use. A slight natural sediment at the bottom is completely normal and a sign of purity — gently swirl before use. Best before 12 months from the date of pressing.

Kshira Organics Wood Pressed Black Mustard Oil is one of India's most potent and traditionally trusted cooking and wellness oils. Black mustard seeds contain a higher concentration of bioactive compounds than yellow mustard — and cold-pressing ensures every one of them reaches your kitchen intact.

More Potent Antibacterial & Antimicrobial Protection

Black mustard oil contains a higher concentration of allyl isothiocyanate and glucosinolates than yellow mustard — naturally occurring compounds with exceptionally potent antibacterial, antifungal, and antimicrobial properties. Used for centuries in Ayurveda to protect the body, preserve food, and support immune defence.

Heart Health & Circulation

Rich in monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) and Omega-3 alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), wood pressed black mustard oil supports healthy cholesterol levels, improves blood circulation, reduces arterial inflammation, and promotes long-term cardiovascular health.

Powerful Digestive Stimulant

The intense natural pungency of black mustard oil stimulates digestive enzymes, bile production, and gastric juices more powerfully than yellow mustard oil — improving digestion, reducing bloating, and significantly enhancing nutrient absorption from everything you cook.

High Smoke Point — Made for High-Heat Indian Cooking

With a smoke point of approximately 250°C (480°F), wood pressed black mustard oil is exceptionally stable at high temperatures — the authentic choice for deep frying, tadka, pickling, and high-heat cooking without oxidising or producing harmful free radicals.

Natural Warming & Anti-Inflammatory Properties

Classified in Ayurveda as a heating (ushna) oil, black mustard oil is especially valued in colder months for its natural ability to warm the body, ease joint stiffness, improve circulation, and reduce muscular inflammation — making it a trusted oil for both cooking and therapeutic massage.

Skin, Hair & Scalp Nourishment

Rich in Vitamin E, Omega-3, Omega-6, and natural antioxidants, black mustard oil has been used for generations as a powerful remedy for scalp stimulation, hair growth, dandruff control, and skin nourishment — particularly effective as a warming winter hair and body massage oil.

How to Use Wood Pressed Black Mustard Oil

For Everyday Indian Cooking

Use as your primary cooking oil for tadka, curries, sabzis, stir-fries, and deep frying. Black mustard oil's bold, sharp flavour is the authentic base of Bengali, Rajasthani, Bihari, and Odia cuisine — where its characteristic pungency defines the identity of the dish. Heat until it reaches its smoking point briefly to mellow the raw pungency before adding ingredients.

For Pickling (Achar)

The superior antibacterial and natural preservative properties of black mustard oil make it the most traditional and effective oil for all Indian pickles and achars — naturally preserving freshness and flavour without chemical additives, just as generations have done before.

For Winter Body & Joint Massage

Warm gently and massage into joints, muscles, and the lower back to ease stiffness, improve circulation, and relieve aches — especially effective during colder months. A cornerstone of traditional Ayurvedic abhyanga for its natural warming and anti-inflammatory properties.

For Hair & Scalp Care

Warm slightly and apply to the scalp and hair roots to stimulate circulation, strengthen hair follicles, and combat dryness and dandruff. Leave for 30 minutes before washing for deep nourishment — a time-tested remedy for hair fall, premature greying, and a dry scalp in Ayurvedic tradition.
