Q. What is the difference between refined and cold-pressed oils?
A. Refined oils are processed using high heat and chemicals, which strip away their natural taste, aroma, and nutritional benefits. In contrast, Mahokshoils’ cold-pressed oils are extracted below 50°C using traditional wooden Kolhu methods, preserving antioxidants, vitamins, and healthy fats. This ensures you get an oil that is pure, flavourful, and packed with nutrients.
Q. Why are Mahokshoils cooking oils premium in price?
A. We use only high-quality seeds and nuts, extracted through the slow, traditional cold-press process without refining, bleaching, or adding chemicals. Our oils are first-pressed, unrefined, and completely natural—retaining their original flavour, aroma, and nutrients. This artisanal approach takes more time and care, but the result is unmatched in quality.
Q. What is the difference between virgin and wood-pressed coconut oil from Mahokshoils?
A. Both are nutrient-rich and chemical-free. Virgin coconut oil is extracted from fresh coconut milk, while wood-pressed coconut oil is made from dried and flaked coconut flesh. Both types are excellent for cooking, skincare, and hair care, with slight differences in aroma and texture depending on the extraction process.
Q. Does coconut oil solidify and melt on its own?
A. Yes. Coconut oil remains liquid at warmer temperatures but naturally solidifies when the temperature drops, especially during winter. This is a natural process and does not affect the quality or benefits of the oil.
Q. Can Mahokshoils coconut oil be used for oil pulling?
A. Absolutely. Our pure coconut oil is perfect for oil pulling—an ancient Ayurvedic practice for oral health and detoxification. It contains natural fats and antimicrobial properties that help reduce harmful bacteria, freshen breath, and support gum health.
Q. Can I use Mahokshoils coconut oil for hair and skin?
A. Yes. Our coconut oil is rich in fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamins that deeply nourish hair and skin. It helps repair damage, prevent dryness, and maintain a healthy glow. Its antibacterial and antifungal properties also promote scalp health and protect skin. For sensitive skin, we recommend doing a patch test before regular use.
