Why Every Indian Kitchen Should Switch to Cold Pressed Oils

Why Every Indian Kitchen Should Switch to Cold Pressed Oils

In every Indian home, cooking isn’t just about food, it’s about love, tradition, and family. Whether it’s the aroma of tadka in dal or the crunch of freshly fried pakoras, oil plays a key role in bringing flavor to our meals. But here’s something many of us don’t think about, the type of oil we use matters just as much as the spices we add.

If you’ve been using regular refined oils, it might be time to make the switch to something purer and healthier i.e Cold Pressed Oils.

What Are Cold Pressed Oils?

Cold pressed oils are extracted using the traditional wooden or metal press method, where seeds or nuts are slowly crushed at a low temperature. This process keeps all the natural nutrients, aroma, and flavor intact.

Unlike refined oils, which go through chemical bleaching and heating, cold pressed oils are 100% pure, chemical-free, and nutrient-rich.

In short, cold pressed oils are just like the oils our grandparents used  natural, wholesome, and full of goodness.

Why Every Indian Kitchen Needs Cold Pressed Oils

1. Better for Your Health

Cold pressed oils retain essential vitamins (A, E, D, K) and antioxidants that refined oils lose during processing. These nutrients help improve heart health, boost immunity, and promote glowing skin.

2. No Chemicals, No Preservatives

Most refined oils use chemicals and solvents for extraction. Cold pressed oils, on the other hand, are completely free from additives, giving you pure nutrition in every drop.

3. Enhances the Taste of Indian Food

Whether it’s mustard oil in sarson ka saag or sesame oil in dosa, cold pressed oils bring out the authentic flavors of Indian dishes. You’ll notice your food smells richer and tastes more satisfying.

4. Supports Ayurveda and Natural Healing

Ayurveda has always emphasized using natural oils for cooking, massage, and wellness. Cold pressed oils balance the body’s Vata, Pitta, and Kapha doshas, promoting holistic health and digestion.

5. Sustainable and Traditional

Cold pressed oils follow eco-friendly, traditional extraction methods, supporting local farmers and keeping ancient Indian food wisdom alive.
