For decades, refined oils dominated modern kitchens. But today, more families are returning to cold-pressed oils β especially traditional mustard oil (Kachhi Ghani).
So what makes cold-pressed mustard oil different from refined oils? Letβs understand.
What is Cold-Pressed Mustard Oil?
Cold-pressed mustard oil is extracted using traditional wooden or slow mechanical presses without high heat or chemical processing. This method keeps the oil closer to its natural form.
How Refined Oils are Made
Refined oils go through:
- High heat treatment
- Chemical refining
- Deodorization and bleaching
These steps make the oil look clear and neutral but also change its natural characteristics.
