Description
Cold pressed oil is extracted by mechanically crushing seeds or fruits at low temperatures without the use of heat or chemicals. It is essentially the "juice" of the seed in its most natural state.
This method mirrors the Ghani or mortar-and-pestle techniques used in ancient cultures for thousands of years. Before industrialization introduced high-heat friction and chemical solvents like hexane, our ancestors relied on slow, mechanical pressure.
Traditional approach was inherently safer because it:
Avoided Toxins: No synthetic chemicals were needed for extraction.
Prevented Oxidation: Without high heat, the oil didn't become rancid or produce harmful free radicals during the making.
