Cold Pressed Sunflower Oil | Asmita Organic Farms

Cold-pressed sunflower oil pressed from Helianthus annuus seeds grown in Maharashtra. It is the lightest-tasting of the AsmitA oils — faintly floral, mildly nutty and neutral enough not to change the flavour of a dish. That makes it the practical choice for baking, everyday cooking and as a light massage oil.

Key Features

• Neutral flavour: light and clean, so it does not compete with your spices.
• Cold-pressed: extracted without heat rather than solvent refined.
• Maharashtra-grown seed: harvested and pressed in India.
• Versatile: cooking, baking and body massage.

FAQs

Will it change the taste of my food?

Very little. It is the most neutral of the range — a faint nutty note at most, which is why it works in baking.

How does it compare to the groundnut oil?

Groundnut oil brings a distinct peanut aroma and is favoured for frying. Sunflower oil is lighter and more neutral, better where you want no added flavour.

Can it be used for massage?

Yes, it is commonly used as a light massage oil, including for babies. Test a small patch of skin first.

Does cold-pressed oil solidify in winter?

Sunflower oil stays liquid at normal Indian room temperatures; only coconut oil in the range solidifies in cold weather.
