Mustard oil refers to either the pressed oil of the mustard plant used for cooking or its pungent essential (or volatile) oil. Pressed mustard oil is used as cooking oil in many South Asian cuisines; however, sale is restricted in some North American and European countries due to high levels of erucic acid, though some varieties have lower erucic acid content.
