In a world dominated by refined oils and mass production, a quiet revolution is happening in Indian kitchens—one that takes us back to our roots. The revival of wood-pressed oils is not just a trend; it's a return to purity, nutrition, and taste. But what makes these oils so special? And why should you make the switch?
What Are Wood-Pressed Oils?
Wood-pressed oils, also known as cold-pressed or kachhi ghani oils, are extracted using a slow, traditional process that retains the oil’s natural nutrients. Unlike modern refining techniques that involve high temperatures and chemicals, wood pressing uses a wooden mortar and pestle (kolhu) to gently extract oil from seeds, ensuring that all the goodness remains intact.
The Nutritional Edge
Refined oils undergo bleaching, deodorizing, and chemical treatments, stripping them of essential nutrients. On the other hand, wood-pressed oils are rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and essential fatty acids, making them a healthier choice. They help reduce bad cholesterol, improve heart health, and enhance overall well-being.
A Flavor Like No Other
The first thing you’ll notice when cooking with wood-pressed oils is the aroma—a rich, earthy fragrance that enhances every dish. Unlike refined oils that often taste neutral, these oils retain the natural flavors of the seeds, adding depth and authenticity to your meals.
