Organic Wood-Pressed Mustard Oil – Healthy Choice for Cooking
Introduction: Why Your Cooking Oil Choice Matters
Most people don’t realise that the type of oil you use daily has a deep impact on your health. With markets flooded with refined and chemically processed oils, it’s tough to pick what’s truly good for your heart, digestion, and taste buds.
Enter Organic Wood Pressed Mustard Oil – a natural, chemical-free, nutrient-rich oil that’s been used in Indian kitchens for generations. It’s not just an oil; it’s a tradition of wellness — and brands like Teliram Oil are bringing this legacy back to our tables in its purest form.
What Is Wood Pressed Mustard Oil?
1. The Traditional Extraction Process
Wood-pressed mustard oil, also known as wooden churned mustard oil or kachi ghani mustard oil, is extracted using the cold-pressing method. The mustard seeds are crushed in a wooden ghani (churner) at low temperatures to preserve their natural nutrients, aroma, and flavour.
2. No Heat, No Chemicals
Unlike refined oils, which undergo bleaching, heating, and chemical processing, wood pressing ensures:
.No nutrient loss
.No trans fats
.No added preservatives or solvents
3. The Difference Between Refined and Wood-Pressed Oils
| Factor | Refined Mustard Oil | Wood-Pressed Mustard Oil |
|---|---|---|
| Extraction | High heat & chemical solvents | Cold-pressed in wooden churner |
| Nutrients | Mostly lost | Retained naturally |
| Flavor | Neutralized | Strong, natural mustard aroma |
| Health Impact | Can cause inflammation | Supports heart, skin, and immunity |
