Why Wood-Pressed Oils Are Better Than Refined Oils

Cooking oil is the heart of every kitchen, but the type of oil you use decides how healthy your food really is. For decades, refined oils dominated Indian kitchens. But now, people are switching to 100% wood-pressed oils like those from Andhadhi Naturals, which are pure, chemical-free, and retain their natural nutrients.

Wood-pressed oil (also known as cold-pressed or “kacchi ghani”) is extracted using a traditional wooden churner at low temperatures. This slow, mechanical process ensures the oil retains:

• Essential fatty acids
• Antioxidants
• Natural aroma & flavor

Unlike refined oils, no chemicals or heat are used — just pure pressure and time.
