Q. What is the difference between refined and cold-pressed oils?
A. Refined oils are processed at high temperatures using solvents and chemicals, which strip away their natural flavor, aroma, and nutrients. This process can also create harmful trans fats, making them less healthy. Mahoksh cold-pressed oils are extracted by gently pressing seeds below 50°C, preserving their original taste, aroma, antioxidants, and essential nutrients. This method keeps the oil rich in good fats, making it a heart-friendly choice.
Q. Why are Mahoksh Oils premium-priced?
A. Mahoksh Oils are crafted using the traditional wood-press (Kolhu) method, ensuring the seeds are “first pressed” for maximum freshness and nutrition. Our oils are 100% pure, unrefined, and chemical-free, retaining their natural aroma, taste, and health benefits. While this process is slower and costlier, it guarantees premium quality and exceptional value for your health and cooking.
