Mustard Oil is the best known for food linked to Indian culture and identity. Mustard seed oil has the Lowest Saturated Fat content amongst edible oils. Higher amounts of these fats form deposits in the arteries, causing many heart problems. Secondly, while other edible oils lack either of the two essential fatty acids, rapeseed-mustard provides both essential fatty acids to the human body – oleic acid and Linolenic acid. Beating refined oils and the health-friendly olive oil, it is mustard oil that seems to be best for your heart. Packed with lower levels of saturated fats, cholesterol reducing and anti-oxidant properties and even essential vitamins, switching to cooking in mustard oil could well be the most sensible health investment you can make.

It’s important to minimize the intake of trans-fats and cholesterol (animal fat) while consuming enough good fats. Also, good fats raise your HDL or "good cholesterol". One of the jobs of this High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) or "good cholesterol" is to grab your bad cholesterol, LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein), and escort it to the liver where it is broken down and excreted. In other words, these good fats attack some of the damage already done by the bad fats. This is very important in an age when so many people are struggling to get their cholesterol down, and fight heart disease and obesity.

Mustard oil was widely used in Indian homes earlier but in modern times has been replaced by the so-called heart-friendly oils.” The vegetable oil of mustard is nutritionally 38% to 42% of the seed. The Tocopherols present in mustard help protect the oil from rancidity, thus contributing to a long shelf life.
