Daman, 26th August 2026 – As more Indian consumers choose traditionally extracted oils for everyday use, Ekas Healthy Foods explains how to identify pure wood pressed oil and what buyers should check before purchasing. Understanding the extraction method, ingredient list, aroma, packaging, and product information can help consumers make a more informed choice.

Pure wood pressed oil is traditionally extracted by slowly pressing seeds or nuts using a wooden ghani or chekku. It generally undergoes minimal processing and does not require the extensive refining associated with many conventional refined oils. The finished oil can retain the characteristic aroma, flavour, and natural colour of the source ingredient.

“Consumers should look beyond labels and understand how an oil is produced. Clear ingredient information, extraction details, proper packaging, and transparency from the manufacturer are important when choosing wood pressed oil,” said a spokesperson from Ekas Healthy Foods.

How to Identify Pure Wood Pressed Oil

Here are some practical factors consumers can consider:

1. Check the Ingredient List
Read the label carefully. The product should clearly state the source ingredient, such as groundnut, mustard, sunflower, sesame, coconut, or almond.

2. Look for the Extraction Method
Check whether the packaging clearly mentions wood pressed, wooden ghani, or traditional mechanical extraction. Transparent brands should provide information about how their oil is produced.

3. Notice the Natural Aroma
Wood pressed oils usually retain the characteristic aroma of their source ingredient. Mustard oil can have a strong pungent smell, while groundnut and sesame oils generally have their own distinctive nutty aromas.

4. Consider the Natural Colour
The colour can vary according to the seed or nut, crop, and extraction conditions. A perfectly identical colour across every batch should not be treated as the only sign of purity.

5. Check for Proper Labelling
Look for required information such as the manufacturer details, batch number, manufacturing or packing date, best-before period, net quantity, and applicable food licence information.

6. Buy From a Reliable Source
Purchase from a manufacturer, authorised seller, or trusted online store that clearly provides product and contact information.

Avoid Common Purity Myths

Consumers researching how to identify pure wood pressed oil may come across home tests based on colour, freezing, foam, smell, or thickness. These methods alone cannot reliably confirm whether an edible oil is pure.

Oil characteristics naturally vary between groundnut, mustard, sunflower, sesame, coconut, and almond oils. When authenticity is important, proper product documentation and laboratory testing are more reliable than home-based purity tests.
