Key Takeaway & Nutrition Summary
  • ✓NaturesMud offers two sizes of Cold-Pressed Extra Virgin Coconut Oil: **180 ML (Rs. 650)** and **500 ML (Rs. 1,750)**, plus **Pure & Natural Yellow Mustard Oil (1 Ltr — Rs. 360)**.
  • ✓Cold-pressing extracts oil mechanically without hexane chemical solvents, bleaching clays, or high-temperature deodorization.

Cooking oil is the foundational fat in almost every meal cooked in a Nepali kitchen. Yet most commercial "refined vegetable, soybean, or sunflower oils" sold in plastic pouches are extracted at high temperatures using industrial petroleum-derived hexane solvents, then chemically neutralized, bleached, and deodorized.

At NaturesMud, we focus on traditional, mechanically pressed oils that retain their natural fatty acid profile, aroma, and colour: [Cold-Pressed Extra Virgin Coconut Oil](/products/virgin-coconut-oil-500ml) (available in 500 ML at Rs. 1,750 and [180 ML at Rs. 650](/products/virgin-coconut-oil-180ml)) and [Pure & Natural Yellow Mustard Oil](/products/virgin-coconut-oil-500ml) (1 Ltr at Rs. 360).

1. Extra Virgin Coconut Oil (180 ML & 500 ML): Kitchen Baking, Oil Pulling & Baby/Hair Care

Unlike refined copra oil (which is pressed from smoke-dried coconut husks and bleached), Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is cold-extracted from fresh white coconut meat. It has a delicate, sweet fresh-coconut aroma, crystal-clear clarity when liquid (>25°C), and a creamy snow-white texture when solid (<24°C).

Because roughly half of its fatty acid profile is lauric acid (a 12-carbon medium-chain fatty acid), it is prized across Nepal for both culinary and personal care routines:

Sugar-Free Baking & Granola: Use melted Extra Virgin Coconut Oil instead of refined butter or vegetable oil in Fluffy Sweet Potato Pancakes, Homemade Granola, and No-Bake Energy Balls.
Traditional Baby Massage (Tori / Nariwal Malish): In warm weather or for sensitive skin, parents across Nepal use pure Extra Virgin Coconut Oil for gentle infant skin massage and cradle-cap scalp care.
Hair Pre-Wash Conditioning & Skin Moisturiser: Warm 1 tablespoon between your palms and massage into hair strands 45 minutes before washing, or apply a few drops to dry elbows, heels, and cuticles after a shower.
Morning Oil Pulling (Gandusha): Swish 1 teaspoon of Extra Virgin Coconut Oil in the mouth for 5 to 10 minutes before brushing, then spit into a bin and rinse with warm water.

2. Pure & Natural Yellow Mustard Oil (Rs. 360 / 1 Ltr): The Soul of Nepali Tempering

Pressed from golden-yellow mustard seeds (Pahilo Tori), Pure & Natural Yellow Mustard Oil (Rs. 360 / 1 Ltr) has a milder, sweeter, and more aromatic profile than dark brown-black pungent mustard oil, while delivering the signature golden colour and fenugreek (methi) tempering aroma that defines authentic Nepali cuisine.

With a high smoke point (~240°C), Yellow Mustard Oil excels at high-heat Nepali cooking techniques:

Jhaneko Dal & Methi Tempering: Heat 1 tablespoon of Yellow Mustard Oil until shimmering, crackle fenugreek seeds (methi), jimbu, dried red chilies, and turmeric, and pour sizzling over black Maas ko Dal.
Traditional Aloo Dum, Sadeko & Choila: Coat boiled potatoes, roasted meats, or mushroom choila with tempered mustard oil, roasted cumin, and Himalayan Pink Salt (view our Aloo Dum recipe).
Homemade Nepali Pickles (Achar): Preserves radish (mula ko achar), mango, and lapsi pickles while keeping spices suspended in rich golden oil.

How to Liquefy Solid Coconut Oil Safely in Kathmandu Winters

1
Why Solidification Happens: Pure Extra Virgin Coconut Oil has a natural melting point of 24°C (76°F). From October through March in Kathmandu, Pokhara, and hill districts, room temperature drops below 24°C, so the oil naturally solidifies into a firm white balm. This is a natural indicator of unrefined purity.
2
The Warm Water Bath Method: Never microwave the whole jar or heat it directly on a gas flame. Simply place the closed jar in a bowl of warm tap water (40°C) for 3 to 5 minutes, or scoop out a solid spoonful and let it melt instantly in your warm pan or palm.
