Our hearts work quietly for us every day. When it comes to caring for them, the choices we make in our everyday kitchen matter as much as the occasional health kick. This World Heart Day, let’s look at mustard oil and its place in a heart-conscious diet. Why Does the Kind of Fat We Eat Matter? Not all dietary fats affect the body in the same way. Current cardiovascular nutrition guidance emphasises replacing foods high in saturated fats with sources of unsaturated fats as par

In a world of endless notifications, work that follows us home, and stress that has quietly become part of everyday life, taking care of our mental health has never been more important. This World Mental Health Day, as conversations around therapy, mindfulness, and exercise continue to grow, remember that healing isn't always found in grand gestures. Sometimes, it begins with the smallest daily rituals. Long before the term self-care became popular, Indian households had thei

When we think about the quality of mustard oil, our attention often goes to the seed. Yet, the journey from seed to bottle is just as important. The method of extraction determines not only the oil's flavour and aroma but also how much of the seed's natural goodness is retained. For centuries, India relied on one simple yet ingenious technology to extract oil from mustard, sesame, groundnut and other oilseeds: the ghani. Known by different names across the country, including

Every year, National Nutrition Day encourages us to become more aware of the food choices we make. While conversations around nutrition often focus on proteins, carbohydrates, and vitamins, one essential ingredient that deserves equal attention is the cooking oil we use every day. Mustard oil has been a part of Indian kitchens for generations, valued for its distinctive flavour and versatility. Beyond its culinary appeal, it also offers several nutritional benefits that make

Protein has become a star of the modern Indian plate. From paneer, eggs and dal to chicken and soy, we are all looking for ways to include more protein in our everyday meals. But eating enough protein is only one part of the story. Your body first breaks protein down into amino acids before it can use them for muscle repair, strength, and everyday body functions. And that's where your cooking oil matters It Starts With the Meal Protein digestion begins in the digestive system

Kashmiri cuisine is known for its distinctive flavours, slow-cooked preparations, and an approach to food in which every ingredient has a role to play. Among these ingredients, mustard oil has held a particularly important place in kitchens across the Valley. This isn't a new culinary trend. Mustard oil has been used traditionally in Jammu & Kashmir for generations, and its unmistakable aroma and bold flavour have become closely associated with several regional preparations.

Raksha Bandhan is a celebration of sibling love, laughter and lifelong memories. It is the day of playful teasing, thoughtful gifts, favourite sweets and promises that never really need to be spoken aloud. Whether siblings celebrate together or from different cities, the festival has a way of bringing everyone back to the memories they grew up sharing. And along with those memories comes something else many of us miss just as deeply: the comforting taste of ghar ka khaana. Fr

Every Independence Day, we proudly celebrate the political freedom our nation won in 1947. But freedom is not just about borders and governance. It is also about the choices we make every day, especially the food we place on our plates. This Independence Day, perhaps it is time to ask ourselves a different question. Have we truly achieved Food Swaraj? Food Swaraj is the freedom to eat food that belongs to our land, our climate and our traditions. It is about respecting the wi

From the sun-baked landscapes of Rajasthan to the kitchens that have adapted to life in dry, demanding conditions, food traditions often reflect the environment around them. In desert and semi-arid regions, where water is scarce, temperatures can be extreme and fresh produce may not always be readily available; cooking has historically relied on ingredients that are practical, flavourful and well suited to local agriculture. Mustard oil fits naturally into this story. It is n

The idea of a “balanced diet” often comes with a long list of foods to avoid—less rice, fewer potatoes, no fried food and, increasingly, no oil at all. But a balanced diet isn't about eliminating entire food groups. It's about variety, moderation and getting the right mix of nutrients. From dal and sabzi to rice, roti, curd and the oil used in cooking, every component can have a place on your plate. A Balanced Diet Includes Every Food Group Each food group contributes somethi

In every Indian home, recipes are passed down like family heirlooms. But hidden within those recipes are centuries of practical wisdom. Long before nutrition labels, food science and modern kitchen gadgets, our grandparents relied on techniques that made food safer, tastier and more nourishing. Today, as we embrace convenience, many of these traditional practices are making a well-deserved comeback. Not because they're nostalgic, but because they still make perfect sense. Her

Every year, Nature Conservation Day reminds us that protecting the environment isn't only about large-scale initiatives. It is also about the choices we make every single day. The food we cook, the products we buy, and the agricultural practices we support all contribute to the health of our planet. One such everyday choice is the cooking oil we use. While it may seem insignificant, choosing traditionally produced mustard oil can support sustainable farming, reduce environmen

Mustard oil has been a trusted part of Indian households for generations. While it is best known as a cooking medium, its uses extend far beyond the kitchen. From traditional wellness practices to everyday home care, mustard oil has earned its place as a versatile household staple. Here are some traditional ways mustard oil has been used beyond cooking. Mustard Oil for Oil Pulling Oil pulling is an age-old oral hygiene practice that involves swishing oil in the mouth for a fe

When people think of a healthy diet, they often imagine giving up traditional Indian food. But the truth is, Indian cuisine is one of the most balanced and nutritious culinary traditions in the world. Rich in whole grains, lentils, seasonal vegetables, spices, dairy, and healthy fats, our everyday meals can provide everything the body needs—when prepared mindfully. The key isn't changing what we eat; it's making better choices about how we cook and how we balance our meals. H

Walk through any local market in India, and you'll notice something interesting. Every season brings a new basket of fresh fruits and vegetables. Juicy mangoes in summer, leafy greens in winter, pumpkins during the monsoon. This isn't just tradition. It is nature's way of giving our bodies exactly what they need throughout the year. While supermarkets may stock almost everything year-round, eating seasonal produce remains one of the simplest ways to improve your health, suppo

Every year, International Yoga Day reminds us that wellness is not just about perfect poses and deep stretches. It is about the small rituals that help us feel balanced, nourished, and cared for throughout the day. This year, while everyone else was busy celebrating Yoga Day, I was quietly doing what I do best, being a part of wellness in every corner of the day. Here's a little peek into how I spent Yoga Day. 6:00 AM – Starting with Oil Pulling The day began with a simple we

For young athletes, every opportunity to train, compete, and learn can be a stepping stone toward a bigger dream. This June, the girls of Mission Jumpstart embarked on one such journey as they travelled from Delhi to Pauri, Uttarakhand, for a high-altitude training camp running from 5th to 29th June. They stepped into an environment designed to build endurance, resilience, and athletic excellence. Supported by P Mark Mustard Oil in collaboration with Edify Sports and the Khil

There was a time when cooking was never a one-person task. Whether it was preparing a feast for a wedding, making pickles for the year ahead, or cooking meals during festivals, entire communities came together around food. Recipes were shared, stories were exchanged, and generations learned from one another-not through screens, but through hands-on experience. Today, convenience has replaced collaboration. Food delivery apps, busy schedules, and smaller households mean many o

As we approach World Food Safety Day (June 7), it is worth remembering that food safety is not only about hygiene - it is also about preserving nutrition through proper cooking techniques. Many everyday cooking habits unintentionally reduce nutrient value and alter food quality. Overheating Oil Heating oil until it heavily smokes can degrade healthy fats and produce harmful oxidation compounds. Conversely, insufficiently heated oil prevents the proper release of beneficial co
