Q. What is the difference between refined and cold-pressed oils?
A. Refined oils are heavily processed using high heat and chemicals, which removes their natural flavor, aroma, and nutrients. This process often produces unhealthy trans fats. Mahokshoils’ cold-pressed oils, on the other hand, are extracted at low temperatures in a traditional wooden Kolhu, preserving the oil’s natural goodness, antioxidants, and healthy fats. The result is a purer, healthier oil that’s better for your heart and overall wellness.
Q. Why are Mahokshoils cooking oils premium in price?
A. We offer 100% pure, first-pressed oils made from high-quality seeds and nuts. Our cold-pressed method is slow and labor-intensive, but it retains the natural aroma, flavor, and nutrients. We never use chemical refining, bleaching, or artificial additives. This dedication to purity and quality ensures you get oils that are as close to nature as possible.
Q. How can I use Mahokshoils Mustard Oil for cooking?
A. Our mustard oil has a high smoke point, making it ideal for sautéing, stir-frying vegetables, preparing tadka, or even deep-frying. You can also use it for marinating foods, in salad dressings, and as a natural preservative for pickles (aachar). Its bold flavor adds an authentic touch to traditional recipes.
Q. Can I use Mahokshoils oils for body massage?
A. Yes. Regular massages with our pure, cold-pressed oils help relax muscles, soothe joint pain, and nourish the skin. Mustard and sesame oils are especially effective for promoting warmth and improving blood circulation. As with any natural oil, we recommend doing a small patch test before full application, especially for sensitive skin.
Q. Are Mahokshoils oils good for hair care?
A. Definitely! Our oils are rich in vitamin E, omega-3 fatty acids, and natural antioxidants that help strengthen roots, prevent dandruff, and keep hair soft and shiny. Regular oiling improves scalp health and stimulates hair growth while reducing hair fall.
Q. What is the difference between Yellow Mustard Oil and Black Mustard Oil from Mahokshoils?
A. Yellow mustard oil is milder in taste, more aromatic, and packed with vitamin E, making it ideal for those who prefer a less pungent flavor. Black mustard oil, however, has a stronger taste and offers a deeper, more robust flavor for cooking. Both are rich in nutrients—your choice depends on flavor preference and recipe requirements.
