Walk into any supermarket in India and you'll find shelves lined with refined oils — bright, clear, and odourless. They look clean. But that clarity comes at a cost. WHAT IS COLD-PRESSED OIL? Cold-pressed oil is extracted by mechanically pressing seeds or nuts at low temperatures — typically below 50°C. No heat. No chemicals. No solvents. Traditional Indian methods like Kachhi Ghani (mustard) and wooden churning (sesame, coconut) have used this approach for centuries. WHAT HAPPENS TO REFINED OILS? Refined oils go through high-heat extraction (above 200°C), chemical solvent treatment (hexane), bleaching, and deodorising. Each step strips away nutrients, antioxidants, and natural flavour. 5 REASONS COLD-PRESSED OILS ARE BETTER 1. Nutrients Stay Intact — Vitamin E, lauric acid, Omega-3s are all preserved. 2. No Chemical Residues — No hexane solvents. Pure oil only. 3. Better Flavour — Sesame is nutty, mustard is pungent, coconut is aromatic. 4. Higher Antioxidants — Polyphenols and tocopherols survive cold-pressing. 5. Traditional Wisdom, Validated by Science — Minimally processed oils offer superior nutrition. WHICH OIL SHOULD YOU USE? - Sesame Oil (Til Tel) — finishing dishes, hair care, traditional rituals - Mustard Oil (Kachhi Ghani) — tadka, pickling, winter massages - Groundnut Oil — everyday cooking, frying, salad dressings - Coconut Oil — cooking, skincare, haircare THE OILYROOTS PROMISE Every bottle is cold-pressed, unrefined, and farm-direct.
