When it comes to everyday cooking, we often think vegetables, spices, and taste are what make our meals healthier.
But there’s one ingredient that silently decides almost everything: your cooking oil. And choosing the right oil can transform how your body feels, functions, and flourishes.
Today, we’re breaking down the difference between regular refined oils and cold-pressed pure oils in the clearest, most practical way.
1. How Your Oil Is Made - The Hidden Truth
Refined Oils: A Process Designed for Quantity, Not Quality
Most regular oils on the market undergo extreme processing to appear clean, clear, and uniform.
They pass through:
- High heat (180°C–250°C)
- Chemical solvents
- Bleaching agents
- Deodorising to remove the burnt smell
This harsh treatment:
- Destroys natural nutrients
- Strips away antioxidants
- Alters the natural structure of the oil
- Leaves chemical traces that no one talks about
The result?
A product that may look perfect but has lost everything nature originally placed in it.
Cold-Pressed Oils: A Return to Tradition and Trust
Cold-pressed pure oil is made differently from the way our ancestors extracted oil 5,000+ years ago.
- Using a wooden cold-press (Chekku-Chekko):
- Seeds are crushed slowly
- Temperatures stay under 40°C
- Nutrients remain intact
- Natural aroma is preserved
This gentle extraction keeps:
- Good fats
- Vitamin E
- Polyphenols
- Omega fatty acids
Natural antioxidants
It’s the difference between:
Fresh fruit juice vs artificially flavoured drink
Same ingredients, a completely different outcome.
2. What Your Body Experiences - The Health Impact
Refined Oils
Because refined oils are stripped of natural nutrients, they often behave harshly in the body.
Regular consumption may contribute to:
- Inflammation
- Higher bad cholesterol (LDL)
- Sluggish digestion
- Fatty liver concerns
- Hormonal imbalance
The body sees refined oil as work, not nourishment.
Cold-Pressed Oils
Cold-pressed pure oils work with your body, not against it.
They naturally support:
- Heart health
- Better immunity
- Improved metabolism
- Clearer skin & stronger hair
- Balanced cholesterol
This is why cold-pressed oils are considered a premium oil choice for families focused on long-term wellness.
3. Taste, Aroma & Behaviour in Cooking
Refined Oils
- No aroma
- No natural flavour
- Often feels “flat” in cooking
Because everything natural is removed.
Cold-Pressed Oils
Each oil has its own authentic signature:
Groundnut Oil - enhances deep frying & gives a rich nutty aroma
Coconut Oil - adds natural sweetness
Sesame Oil - deep flavour for traditional dishes
When the oil is real, even simple food feels special.
4. Daily Cooking: Which One Should You Choose?
Cold-pressed oils perform beautifully for:
- Sauteing
- Stir-frying
- Regular home cooking
- Traditional dishes
- Even light deep-frying
Why?
Because they are naturally stable and rich in antioxidants.
Refined oils may look clear…
But cold-pressed oils feel pure because nothing is hidden.
