Yellow Mustard Oil & Sesame Oil

Mustard oil is emerging as the most beneficial oils thanks to its ideal ratio of essential fatty acids and natural antioxidants, it may be one of the healthiest edible oils, with huge benefits for the heart.

Mustard oil, which has a pungent taste, contains about 60 per cent monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA), 21 per cent polyunsaturated fats (PUFA) and about 12 per cent saturated fats. “High levels of MUFA and PUFA — also called good fats — maintain heart health and lower bad cholesterol, while improving good cholesterol,” Jiyo Raw Wood Pressed Black Mustard Oil fulfill all these criteria with it pungent authentic natural aroma.

Further, it also consists of six per cent of the omega-3 fatty acids (N-3) and 15 per cent of the omega-6 (n-6) — the two essential fatty acids — in the ideal ratio of 1:2, which is a huge benefit for the heart, as it balances cholesterol levels. This, in turn, reduces triglycerides or blood fat levels, and helps in keeping the heart healthy.

“A heart-friendly oil should be cholesterol- and trans-fat free, low in saturated fat and high in monounsaturated fat and polyunsaturated fat, and should have an ideal N6 to N3 acids ratio as well as a high smoking point. Mustard oil meets all these criteria,”

Use of mustard oil as a cooking medium reduced the chances of heart disease such as coronary artery disease (CAD) — the most common type of heart disease — by nearly 70 per cent. It also helps to regulate blood flow and protects the body from hypertension.
