Kachi Ghani Mustard Oil is a type of mustard oil that is traditionally extracted from mustard seeds through a cold-pressing process, also known as kachi ghani (raw crusher) process. In this method, the seeds are crushed in a traditional wooden cold press (ghani) to extract the oil without applying any external heat. This cold-pressing technique helps retain the natural flavor, aroma, and nutrients present in the mustard seeds.
Mustard oil, in general, has a strong flavor and pungent aroma due to the presence of compounds like allyl isothiocyanate. It is commonly used in Indian cuisine for cooking, seasoning, and pickling. It is also used for its various health benefits, such as being rich in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, omega-3 fatty acids, and antioxidants.
Pihu Kachi Ghani Mustard Oil is considered to be of superior quality compared to oil extracted through other methods, as it undergoes minimal processing, preserving its natural properties. It is often preferred for its distinct taste and aroma, making it a staple in many Indian households and cuisines.
