The Switch: Why You Should Replace Refined Oil with Cold Pressed Oil Today

The oils you cook with form the foundation of your diet. If you’re still using mass-produced refined oils, you’re missing out on vital nutrients and consuming unnecessary chemical residues. Switching to cold-pressed oils is one of the single most impactful changes you can make for your health.

1. Zero Chemical Processing

Refined oils are stripped of their natural benefits. The refining process involves:

• Heat & Pressure: To maximize oil extraction, which destroys vitamins, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory compounds.

• Solvents (like Hexane): Used to chemically wash the oil and remove impurities, leaving behind trace amounts of potentially harmful residues.

• Deodorizing & Bleaching: To create a bland, clear, odorless product with a long shelf life.

2. Cold Pressed: Maximum Nutrition Retained

Cold-pressed oils (like your Groundnut, Sesame, and Coconut oils) are extracted using traditional pressing methods at low temperatures.

• Nutrient Retention: This gentle process ensures the oil retains its natural flavor, aroma, and most importantly, beneficial compounds like Vitamin E, polyphenols, and essential fatty acids.

• Purity: You get oil in its most natural and pure form, exactly as intended by nature, with no chemical solvents whatsoever.

3. Natural Flavor Elevation

Cold-pressed oils bring a superior, authentic flavor to your cooking.

• Groundnut Oil: Adds a lovely, mild nutty note perfect for everyday Indian cooking.

• Sesame Oil: Lends a rich, deep aroma excellent for tadka or traditional dishes.

• Coconut Oil: Ideal for regional specialties or baking, adding a sweet, tropical essence.

The Bottom Line: By switching to your cold-pressed oils, you are choosing an unadulterated, nutrient-rich fat that supports heart health, digestion, and truly makes your home-cooked food taste better.
