Mustard oil is obtained from which part of the plant?

Oils are energy-giving food. We obtain oils from both plant and animal sources.

In plants, oils are extracted from the seeds of oil-yielding plants. A few examples of oil-yielding plants are mustard, coconut, groundnut, sesame, sunflower, safflower, olive, etc.

Mustard seeds are crushed and ground to extract mustard oil. Mustard oil has a sharp smell and imparts a good taste to the food.
