is mustard oil a seed oil - #24946

Emily

I am really confused about something I've been reading. Recently, I started using mustard oil because I heard it’s healthy, but I can't get it out of my head whether is mustard oil a seed oil. I mean, I’ve used it in cooking and even for skin massages thinking it’s good for me, but now I'm second-guessing myself. I actually had a conversation with a friend who said it's not a true seed oil but I thought it came from the seeds just like other oils do? Like the way olive oil is pressed from olives or canola from rapeseeds. I did some googling, and some articles call it a seed oil, while others seem to imply it might be different. It gets kinda frustrating! If is mustard oil a seed oil, does that change anything about how goood it is? Like, will it affect my digestion or skin? Changing the cooking oil I use just seems such a big deal, but if I need to rethink this, then maybe I should? Any insight would help!
