Cold-Pressed Oils
Cold-pressed oils are extracted from seeds, nuts, or fruits without the use of heat. This method preserves the natural flavors, nutrients, and aroma of the source material. Common examples include olive oil, coconut oil, and almond oil. The process involves crushing the raw material and applying pressure to release the oil.
Because cold-pressed oils retain more nutrients, they are often considered healthier than oils extracted using heat. They are rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants. These oils are popular in cooking, salad dressings, and skincare products due to their beneficial properties and natural taste.
