Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our products and services
Wood-pressed oil, also called Lakdi Ghani oil, is extracted using a slow wooden press at low temperature — no heat, no chemicals. This process keeps all the natural nutrients, antioxidants, and aroma intact. Refined oils go through bleaching and chemical processing that strips away most of the goodness. Wood-pressed is simply closer to how nature intended it.
Yes — completely. No refining, no bleaching, no preservatives, no additives. Every bottle is naturally extracted and lightly filtered. What goes in is just seeds. What comes out is pure oil.
Wood-pressed oils retain essential fatty acids, fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K), and natural antioxidants that get destroyed during refining. Regular use supports heart health, better digestion, stronger immunity, and healthier skin and hair — all from your everyday cooking oil.
We work directly with 5,000+ farmers across Gujarat, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, and other states. Seeds are sourced without middlemen, verified for quality at source, and purchased at fair prices. This means fresher seeds for better oil, and a better livelihood for the farmers who grow them.
Yes! Our oils are 100% natural and chemical-free — perfect for cooking, skin, and hair. Use them for tadka, sautéing, deep conditioning, or scalp care. One pure oil, multiple uses, zero chemicals.
Most brands outsource production. Bharat Botanics owns and operates one of India's largest wood-pressed oil manufacturing facilities in Gondal, Gujarat. We control every step — from seed sourcing to bottling — so quality is never compromised. No third party, no shortcuts.
Wood-pressed oils have a lower smoke point compared to refined oils, so they are best used for medium-heat cooking, tadka, sautéing, and salad dressings. For deep frying at high heat, refined oils are more suitable. For everyday home cooking though, wood-pressed is the healthier and more flavourful choice.
