Here are a few of the frequently asked questions by our customers, regarding the cold-pressed oil that we provide:
- Is it necessary to heat/cook cold-pressed before consuming?
Answer: No! cold-pressed oil is unrefined and in purest form. They do not need to be heated or cooked before consuming. Refined oils are treated with chemicals and thus they are required to be cooked before having them.
Answer: The oil is extracted using simple mechanical process of grinding and is stored in a clean container before packaging them. It gets all the nutritional qualities from the seeds and do not require any kind of purification before consuming. It is not exposed to any kind of chemical or process that would spoil its quality and thus we don’t need to treat it in any way.
- Does cold-pressed oil have unhealthy fats because it is untreated?
Answer: Cold-pressed oils have oleic acid and other unsaturated fats which help in lowering the LDL (bad) cholesterol. They also have essential fatty acids like omega-3s that help in improving eye health, fighting depression and anxiety, reducing symptoms of ADHD in children, promoting brain health during pregnancy as well as early life of children, etc.
Cold pressed oils do not require any kind of treatment before consumption as they have all the possible nutrients from the seeds. They have a high smoke point, so we can cook any kind of dish we would like. They need to be stored at a dark and cool place and can be reused a few times. They are healthy and the best alternatives to refined and regularly used oils.
