Akrivis Canola Mustard Oil

Mustard oil is a popular cooking oil that has been used for centuries due to its unique flavour and potential health benefits. However, traditional mustard oil contains a compound called erucic acid, which has raised concerns about its impact on health and the oil is not recommended for cooking in countries like US, UK, Canada.

Recently, through research and development and advancements in agricultural practices, we have been able to bring down the level of erucic acid from around 40 % to around 2% which is negligible, making it a healthier alternative to the traditional variety. Few benefits of Akrivis mustard oil are:

1. Reduced Cardiovascular Risks: Low erucic acid reduces the risk of heart diseases. Additionally, it is rich in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, including omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which are known to promote cardiovascular health by lowering bad cholesterol levels.

2. Anti Inflammatory Properties: Low erucic acid mustard oil contains compounds like alpha-linolenic acid, which possesses anti-inflammatory properties. Regular consumption of this oil may reduce inflammation in the body, which is linked to various chronic diseases, including arthritis, diabetes, and certain types of cancer.

3. Rich in Antioxidants: Low erucic acid mustard oil is a good source of anti oxidants like Vitamin E and selenium, thus protecting cells from oxidative damage and reducing the risk of oxidative stress related diseases.

4. Improved Digestive Health: The low erucic acid content minimises potential adverse effects on gastrointestinal system which can further stimulate the production of digestive juices, promoting better digestion and absorption of nutrients.

5. Anti bacterial Properties: Both traditional and low erucic acid mustard oils have demonstrated antimicrobial properties. However, with reduced erucic acid, the oil becomes more acceptable for a wider range of culinary applications, while still providing protection against harmful microbes that can cause food poisoning and other infections.

6. Skin and hair Benefits: Low erucic mustard oil’s anti inflammatory and anti oxidant properties help soothe irritated skin, reduce acne, and protect against premature aging. When used on hair, it can aid in strengthening hair follicles and reducing dandruff.
