What to know about Indic Wisdom Cold Pressed Mustard Oil
A one-ingredient oil with 90 kcal a spoon
Indic Wisdom Cold Pressed Mustard Oil is a 1 litre (910 g) bottle of mustard oil, and mustard oil is the only ingredient on the label. It is sold as an unrefined, cold-pressed oil made from mustard seeds from Rajasthan, for home cooks who want the pungent flavour for tadka, frying and pickles.
What you get is a plain fat. Per 100 g the oil has 898 kcal and 99.79 g fat, of which 4.78 g is saturated and 93.14 g is unsaturated (67.64 g monounsaturated and 27.37 g polyunsaturated). It has no protein, carbohydrate, sugar, sodium or cholesterol. The pack serve is 10 g, about 2.5 teaspoons, which is about 90 kcal.
The front promises cold pressed, 100% pure and unrefined, and the one-item list agrees. The omega-3 and trans-fat-free claims match the panel, which prints 9.75 g omega-3 and 0 g trans fat per 100 g. The heart wording is a claim about fat type, not about the oil's calories. CleanPlate scores it EB4.
Why Indic Wisdom Cold Pressed Mustard Oil scores EB4
Nutrition is an E because oil is pure fat with no protein, fibre or declared micronutrients. Ingredients are a B on a one-item list with no additives, and risk is a 4, driven by 898 kcal per 100 g.
Very low nutrient density
- Protein

- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 898 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why E
Oil is almost entirely fat: 99.79 g per 100 g, with 0 g protein, 0 g carbohydrate and no fibre. With no protein source and no declared vitamins or minerals, nothing lifts the grade above the lowest band.
The fat itself is mostly unsaturated, 93.14 g per 100 g including 9.75 g omega-3. The nutrition grade does not reward fat type on its own, so that detail does not move it.
Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.

02 Ingredient integrity: why B
The list is a single item, mustard oil, with no additives, no preservatives, no flavouring and no hydrogenated fat, so nothing costs ingredient points. Declared trans fat of 0 g is accepted as printed.
No claim on the pack is hollow, so the label-integrity part carries no cost. The grade stops at a B because this is an extracted oil rather than a whole food.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
High risk

- Trans fat

03 Load risk: why 4
Energy is the main driver: 898 kcal per 100 g, about 90 kcal in a 10 g serve. Saturated fat adds a smaller part at 4.78 g per 100 g, just under the 5 g high line.
Sugar, sodium and trans fat are all 0 g, so they play no part. The risk number reflects how dense the oil is in calories, which is true of any cooking oil.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Does Indic Wisdom Cold Pressed Mustard Oil live up to its claims?
The pure, unrefined, omega-3 and zero trans fat claims hold on the panel. The heart and cholesterol wording is true to the fat type but says nothing of the 898 kcal per 100 g.
- On the packHolds
“Cold Pressed, 100% Pure Unrefined”
The ingredient list is mustard oil only, with no additives or other oils.
- On the packHolds
“Omega-3 PUFA & MUFA”
The panel shows 9.75 g omega-3, 27.37 g polyunsaturated and 67.64 g monounsaturated fat per 100 g.
- On the packBe careful
“Heart health claim on front”
The oil is mostly unsaturated fat, with 4.78 g saturated fat per 100 g. It is still 898 kcal per 100 g, about 90 kcal a 10 g spoon, so quantity matters.
- On the packBe careful
“Helps maintain cholesterol”
The pack ties this to alpha linolenic acid, an essential fatty acid. It is a statement about fat type, not a promise about the oil's effect at any amount.
- On the packHolds
“Zero trans fats”
Trans fat is printed as 0 g per 100 g and no hydrogenated fat is listed.
What's in Indic Wisdom Cold Pressed Mustard Oil?

The ingredient list, read for you
The list is one item: mustard oil. There are no added flavours, preservatives, antioxidants or other oils, and no percentage is needed for a single ingredient. The oil is unrefined, so mustard particles may settle at the bottom of the bottle.

- Energy densityConcern
898 kcal per 100 g, about 90 kcal in a 10 g serve. This is the main driver of the risk number.

Use a spoon for tadka, shallow frying or pickles. Each 10 g spoon is about 90 kcal, so measure rather than pour.
Mustard oil tadka
Heat one 10 g spoon, about 90 kcal, and temper cumin, mustard seeds and dried chilli over dal or vegetables.
Shallow-fried vegetables
Use a teaspoon or two for a shallow fry, so the dish gets the pungent flavour without the full 10 g serve.
