Vegetable oils have been recognized since the oldest civilizations of Mesopotamia, Egypt and the Roman Empire where they were used in various rituals for health and beauty. Among the many functions of lipids, the role that mostly stands out is “energy storage” of the body since they are a very compact and light weight molecule.
Heat pressed x Cold pressed oils
The process of obtaining the oil from seeds and nuts is called mechanical pressing and it can be done with or without heat.
Hot pressed oil: the oil is extracted by using high heat (in some cases up to 200°C) and because of it, most of the nutrients and flavours are lost.
Cold pressed oil: seeds are crushed slowly to extract oil from them naturally with the temperature not higher than 50°C. By cold pressing, there is no extra heat and chemicals required, so the oils retain their natural properties such as purity, taste, odor and nutritional value – which makes them the healthiest variant of oil available to us.
Benefits of cold pressed oils
At a time when we are increasingly returning to natural alternatives for therapeutic purposes, self-medication and care, oils find their place in a variety of indications. Due to the high concentration of natural antioxidants and omega fatty acids, oils have been shown to be useful in preventing premature aging and reducing chronic inflammation in the body.
Cold pressed oils are a valuable natural skin care, especially for dry, sensitive skin that needs constant care. These nourishing oils, if included in your daily skin and hair care routine, can bring visible and significant results.
