Description
Traditional Extraction (Ghani Method)
- "Ghani": This is an ancient, traditional method (using a modern, slow-speed machine) where oil is extracted by crushing the seeds under low pressure.
- Low Heat/Speed: The slow process ensures minimal heat generation (a cold-pressed oil is one where the temperature does not exceed a certain threshold, typically 40∘C to 50∘C).
- Preservation of Qualities: By avoiding high heat and chemical solvents, the oil retains its:
- Natural Aroma and Flavour: The authentic, nutty taste of the groundnuts.
- Nutrients and Antioxidants: Vitamins, healthy fats, and other natural compounds remain largely intact.
- Unrefined State: The oil is usually minimally filtered (sometimes just filtered through cloth) and does not undergo chemical processes like bleaching, deodorizing, or adding preservatives.
Storage and Usage Tips
- Container: Storing it in a steel container (or glass bottle) away from light and heat is recommended to prevent the oil from going rancid, as natural oils are sensitive to light and oxidation.
- Shelf Life: The shorter shelf life of 6 months is typical for unrefined, natural oils because they lack the chemical stabilizers used in refined oils.
- Usage: Suitable for most Indian cooking methods due to its high smoke point and flavor-enhancing qualities (especially in dishes like thepla, poha, sabzis, and dal tadka).
