Q. What is the difference between refined and cold-pressed oils?

A. Refined oils are colourless, odourless and flavourless fluids. The regular refined oils are extracted using solvents and grinding at high speed, which can generate heat up to 100°C, which degrades the oil's taste and nutritional composition. Trans fats are produced in this process, unfit for your heart. While our cold-pressed oils are extracted through pressing and grinding seeds below a temperature of 50°C, though it is a slow and time-consuming process, they retain their natural flavour, aroma, and nutritional value. They are high in antioxidants and vitamins and contain good fats for a healthy heart.

Q. Why are Anveshan cooking oils expensive?

A. Anveshan offers premium quality oils cold-pressed in wooden Kolhu by crushing raw seeds/nuts and forcing the oil through pressure. Our oils are also “First pressed,“ meaning that the seeds/nuts were crushed and pressed only once. As a result, the oils are unrefined, unbleached, and, most importantly, natural. Oil extracted in this way retains its genuine flavour, aroma, antioxidants, and nutrients. It does not alter the properties of the oil and makes them great for cooking.

Q. What type of cooking is it suitable for?

A. Sunflower oil has a light taste and appearance and is non-volatile all-purpose cooking oil. Its high smoke point stands up well to heat and is suitable for deep frying. It is also used in low-heat cooking methods like in sauce or as an ingredient in sunflower seed butter.

Q. Is it safe to use sunflower oil on the skin?

A. Sunflower oil is among the most abundant sources of Vitamin E that can help protect skin from free radicals and the adverse effects of the sun. There are many ways you can use sunflower oil on your skin and obtain vitamin E’s benefits for the skin. Our sunflower oil is pure, chemical-free and safe to use. However, as a precautionary measure, we recommend trying a patch test.

Q. How does it taste and smell?

A. It has a mild flavour and aroma with a subtle fatty taste, that is more pronounced in unrefined, cold-pressed sunflower oil. We assure you there is no added flavour or chemicals.
