Extraction Process:

FRESHPURE Wood pressed sunflower oil is extracted using a traditional wooden ghani or kolhu (press). This method involves crushing sunflower seeds with a wooden press to extract oil without applying heat, ensuring the oil retains its natural properties.

Cold-Pressed:

The extraction process is done at low temperatures, which helps preserve the nutritional value and natural flavor of the sunflower oil. Cold-pressing also retains more antioxidants compared to conventional methods.

Nutrient Retention:

Wooden pressing minimizes the exposure of the oil to heat, helping retain essential nutrients such as vitamins, antioxidants, and polyphenols, which can be compromised in high-temperature extraction methods.

High Oleic Content:

FRESHPURE Sunflower oil obtained through wood pressing tends to have a higher oleic acid content, which is a monounsaturated fat linked to various health benefits, including heart health.

Natural Flavor and Aroma:

The cold-pressing method preserves the natural flavor and aroma of sunflower seeds, giving the oil a distinctive taste that many consumers appreciate.

No Chemicals or Additives:

FRESHPURE Wood pressed sunflower oil is typically produced without the use of chemicals or additives, making it a more natural and pure form of oil.

Rich in Vitamin E:

FRESHPURE Sunflower oil is naturally rich in vitamin E, an antioxidant that helps protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. The cold-pressing method helps retain this beneficial nutrient.

Light Texture:

FRESHPURE Wood pressed sunflower oil often has a lighter texture compared to industrially processed oils, making it suitable for various culinary applications, including frying, sautéing, and salad dressings.

Health Benefits:

The high oleic acid content, combined with other nutrients, contributes to potential health benefits, such as improved heart health, reduced inflammation, and better overall well-being.

Environmentally Friendly:

The traditional wooden pressing method is considered more environmentally friendly compared to some modern extraction methods, as it requires minimal energy and doesn’t involve the use of chemicals or solvents.
