  • About
Avocado oil is an oil pressed from the pulp of avocados. Its mild taste is best exploited in salads or used for sautéing vegetables, seafood and chicken. Mustard oil, pressed from mustard seed, features prominently in Indian cooking, especially in deep-fried dishes from northern and northwest regions. Raw mustard oil has a very harsh flavor and an odor that must be mellowed by heating the oil to its smoking point, then cooling it before use.

Poppy seed oil is pressed from either white or blue-gray poppy seeds. It is light in color with little flavor and appears in the cooking of northern France under the name huile blanche.
