WHAT ARE COLD PRESSED OILS?

Cold pressing is a method of extraction of oil from the oilseeds. Cold pressed oils are extracted by pressing seeds mechanically in a wooden machine where no heat is used to preserve the nutrients in the oil. The oil that is extracted is unfiltered unrefined and 100% pure (No chemicals are used in the oil at any point of time). It is exactly how our ancestors have been extracting the oil for 1000's of years. These oils are full of nutrients and also the natural flavour of the seeds enhance the taste of the food if used  in cooking.
