Why Cold-Pressed Oils Are Better Than Refined Oils?

Introduction: The Truth About the Oils We Use Every Day

In every kitchen, oil is essential - from frying and sautéing to salad dressing and baking. But have you ever wondered how the oil you use affects your health?

Most people use refined oils without realizing what they’re missing. The refining process involves high heat, chemicals, and bleaching, which strip away natural nutrients and antioxidants.

On the other hand, cold-pressed oils - like those from 99B Organic - are extracted naturally, without heat or chemicals. The result? A golden, nutrient-rich oil that retains all its original flavor and goodness.

💡 Simple truth: If you care about your family’s health, switching to cold-pressed oil is one of the smartest choices you can make.

1. What Are Cold-Pressed Oils?

Cold-pressed oils are extracted by gently crushing oil seeds (like groundnuts, coconuts, sesame, or sunflower) using a wooden or metal press at low temperatures (below 50°C).

This slow, natural process:

• Preserves nutrients and antioxidants

• Maintains the oil’s natural flavor and aroma

• Prevents harmful trans fats from forming

At 99B Organic, we use the traditional wooden chekku method - a process trusted by Indian households for generations - to make 100% pure and chemical-free cold-pressed oils.

2. What Are Refined Oils?

Refined oils are made using industrial techniques to increase shelf life and uniformity. The process involves:

1. High heat treatment (over 200°C)

2. Use of chemicals like hexane and caustic soda

3. Bleaching and deodorizing to remove smell and color

While this may make the oil look clear and appealing, it destroys most vitamins and nutrients. Worse, it may introduce free radicals that harm your body in the long run.

Think of it this way: Refined oils look clean but are often nutritionally “empty.”

3. Health Benefits of Cold-Pressed Oils

a) Rich in Nutrients and Antioxidants

Cold-pressed oils retain essential nutrients like Vitamin E, Omega-3 fatty acids, and polyphenols, which are destroyed in refined oils.
These compounds protect your heart, skin, and immune system.

b) Promotes Heart Health

The healthy fats in cold-pressed oils (monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats) help maintain cholesterol balance.
They increase HDL (good cholesterol) and reduce LDL (bad cholesterol) - keeping your heart healthy.

c) Improves Skin and Hair Health

Because they’re nutrient-dense, these oils can be used for topical application too.
They moisturize skin, prevent aging, and add shine to hair - naturally.

d) Boosts Brain and Nerve Function

Cold-pressed oils contain Omega-3 fatty acids, which are vital for brain development and nerve health.
A tablespoon of 99B Organic Cold-Pressed Groundnut or Coconut Oil daily supports mental clarity and focus.
