The Growing Popularity of Cold-Pressed Oils in Nutritious Home Cooking

As more families look for ways to enhance the nutritional value of everyday meals, the shift toward using cold-pressed oils has gained significant momentum. These oils, extracted without the use of chemicals or heat, offer a healthier alternative to conventional refined oils, making them particularly suitable for developing bodies and health-conscious households.

Sakshi Lalwani, a nutritionist on board with Tata Simply Better, underscores the health benefits of cold-pressed oils, especially for growing children. “Cold-pressed oils retain essential nutrients, including omega-3 fatty acids and natural antioxidants, which may get lost in the refining process of oils. Using 100% cold-pressed oils ensures a higher level of purity and a chemical-free extraction process, making them suitable for young, developing bodies,” explains Lalwani. These essential nutrients support brain development, immune function, and overall well-being, making cold-pressed oils a valuable addition to family meals.

Tata Simply Better Cold Pressed Oils bring a range of 100% pure, unrefined oils that are crafted with care to retain the rich aroma, authentic flavor, and vital nutrients essential for healthy cooking. The collection includes four distinct variants—Virgin Cold Pressed Coconut Oil, Cold Pressed Groundnut Oil, Mustard Oil, and Sesame (Gingelly) Oil—each made using traditional cold-pressed technology.

For many parents, the transition to cold-pressed oils has been a simple yet impactful way to incorporate healthier ingredients into daily cooking without sacrificing flavor.

Dilpreet Bhatia, the head of the Lucknow Mom Tribe community, shares how cold-pressed oils have become a staple in her kitchen and those of many other moms in her network, “As moms, we’re always looking for ways to make everyday meals more nutritious without compromising on taste. Incorporating premium quality, 100% cold-pressed oils into dishes like homemade parathas, stir-fries, or even dressings has been an easy upgrade for me and many moms in our community. The subtle flavor and natural aroma not only enhance the dishes but also provide healthier fats for growing kids.”

This trend reflects the growing awareness that small dietary changes can significantly impact the health and well-being of children. As more families explore the benefits of cold-pressed oils, they are finding that these oils can help nurture healthier eating habits from an early age.

Whether used in traditional Indian dishes or modern recipes, cold-pressed oils offer a nutritious, flavorful option that appeals to parents striving to create wholesome, balanced meals for their families. With their natural purity and health benefits, cold-pressed oils are increasingly becoming a go-to choice in kitchens across the country.
