Wood Pressed Sunflower Oil - 1 L

Sunflower oil is a modern kitchen favorite, but the "refined" versions sold in stores are often extracted using hexane, a petroleum-based solvent. Our Wood Pressed Sunflower Oil takes a step back in time. We use a traditional wooden Ghani (Lakdi Ghana) to slowly crush the seeds at room temperature. This "Cold Press" method ensures that the oil retains its natural Vitamin E, Oleic acids, and subtle nutty aroma. Wood pressing is essential because the wood absorbs the heat generated during friction, preventing the oil from oxidizing and turning rancid. This oil is particularly high in Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFA), which are essential for maintaining healthy cholesterol levels. It is also a significant source of Vitamin E, which acts as a potent antioxidant for cell protection and skin health. Its light texture and high smoke point make it incredibly versatile—perfect for everything from deep-frying traditional pooris to light sautéing. Unlike refined oils that leave a greasy residue, our wood-pressed oil feels light and clean on the palate. By choosing this oil, you are removing "chemically processed" fats from your diet and replacing them with a nutrient-dense, traditional alternative that respects your body’s biology.
