Pure, wood pressed oil made from the finest quality of groundnuts. No chemicals or preservatives used in the product. Groundnut oil is a versatile cooking oil that can be used for regular cooking as well as exotic dishes. Why is the oil called "Cold Pressed Oil"? Cold pressed oil is extracted by crushing oilseeds in wood or stone churner. The churner rotates at a slow speed due to which the temparature does not rise beyond 45deg C during the extraction. Oil extracted using such traditional method remains true to its natural form. Does cold pressed oil reduce oil consumption in the kitchen? Yes, these oils have high density and are more viscous than Refined oil. On heating cold pressed oil, they expand and remain stable. Hence, the amount of oil required for saute, tadka, deep frying can be reduced. On an average, 40% reduction of oil consumption can be achieved by switching over to cold pressed oil. Why are cold pressed oil expensive? Most oilseeds have 40-50% oil content. Hence, extraction of 1 litre of oil requires approx. 2 kgs of oilseed. The price of cold pressed oil depends on the price of the oilseed. However, a 40% reduction in consumption balances the cost factor well.
