The Ancient Wisdom of Cold-Pressed Oils
Cold-pressed oils have been used in Indian households for thousands of years. Unlike refined oils that use high heat and chemical solvents, cold-pressed oils are extracted at room temperature. This traditional method preserves their natural nutrients, flavor, and health benefits, making them a superior choice for modern kitchens.
What Makes Cold-Pressed Oils Special?
Cold-pressed oils are extracted using traditional wooden churners (known as a ghani) or modern mechanical presses without applying heat. Because the process avoids high temperatures, the oil retains its natural antioxidants, vitamins, and essential fatty acids. This makes cold-pressed oils far more nutritious than refined oils, which often lose their nutritional value during processing.
