Cold Pressed Oils: Your Questions Answered

Are you still using the same old refined oils to cook your food? Well, it’s time you stopped. Because as much as the advertisements on our television claim that refined oils are healthy and good for our health, they are actually curses in disguise. And if left unchecked, they can definitely lead to serious health troubles, such as heart diseases, irregular cholesterol levels, et cetera. So then, what is the solution? According to us, cold-pressed oils are the real deal. We know, we know, you have tons of questions. That’s why, in this blog, we have tried to answer many of your questions. 

• What are cold-pressed oils? 

Before we tell you about cold-pressed oils, let’s take a look at refined oils. And why are they not as good as cold-pressed oils? Refined oils are extracted by using high heat (200°C) and chemical solvents. Due to chemicals and heat, most of the nutrients and flavours are lost. On the contrary, cold-pressed oils are extracted via  crushing the seeds slowly to extract oil from them naturally. This is done to retain the nutrients and flavours. Therefore, apart from being way healthier than refined oils, cold-pressed oils are also derived directly from nature, and are 100% natural and pure. 

• If they are without preservatives, do cold-pressed oils go bad very quickly? What is their common shelf life? 

No, just because cold-pressed oils do not contain chemical preservatives does not mean they go bad very quickly. In fact, they can also last just as long as refined oils, if preserved properly. But you do need to take more precautions than refined oils. The best way to store them is in the fridge, because these oils need stable temperature to retain taste and quality. Or you can keep them in a cool, dark place, where heat does not reach directly. Heat can make your oils go bad pretty fast. 

• What are some kinds of cold-pressed oils? 

Unlike refined oils, cold-pressed oils actually have a vast variety. Some of them include Virgin Kalonji Oil, Sesame Oil, Coconut Oil, Jojoba Oil, Onion Oil, et ceteta. Visit www.vannessentials.com to know more. 

• What does ‘Virgin’ mean in the context of cold-pressed oils? 

‘Virgin’ means without added chemicals and preservatives. Cold-pressed oils are 100% natural, and do not involve any chemical processing, which gives them the tag of ‘Virgin’.
