Why Every Indian Household Should Switch to Cold-Pressed Oils

For decades, refined oils dominated Indian kitchens. Bright packaging, long shelf life, and aggressive marketing made them the default choice. But here’s the reality many people are waking up to: refined oils lose most of their natural nutrients during heavy chemical processing.

That’s why more households across India are switching to cold-pressed oils, also known as wood-pressed or lakdi ghani oils.

What Are Cold-Pressed Oils?

Cold-pressed oils are extracted from seeds and nuts using traditional wooden churners (lakdi ghani) at low temperatures.

Unlike refined oils, this method ensures the oil retains its:

• Natural nutrients

• Original aroma

• Essential fatty acids

• Antioxidants

Because heat and chemicals are not used, the oil remains closer to its natural form.

Why Refined Oils Are a Problem

Most refined oils go through several industrial processes including:

• Degumming

• Neutralization

• Bleaching

• Deodorization

These processes use high heat and chemicals that strip away natural nutrients.

The result?Oil that looks clear but has very little nutritional value left.

Benefits of Cold-Pressed Oils
