By OwnFresh – Stone-Pressed Oils you can trust
Introduction
In most Indian homes, coconut oil is not just an ingredient – it’s an emotion. Whether it’s for cooking, hair care, or even for traditional remedies, we all rely on it. But today, a serious question is making rounds – Is the coconut oil you are using truly pure?
At OwnFresh, purity is our foundation. And through this blog, we want to bring awareness to a growing problem in our kitchens – adulterated coconut oil. Let’s understand how it happens, how to identify it, and how stone-pressed coconut oil is still the safest and most natural way forward.
The Bitter Truth About Coconut Oil Adulteration
Unfortunately, many popular coconut oil brands available in the market are not as honest as they seem. To increase profit margins, some producers mix cheap oils like paraffin, palm kernel oil, or even mineral oils with coconut oil. These substances may look like coconut oil, but they are harmful to health and have no nutritional value.
In some shocking cases, artificial coconut fragrance is added to give a false sense of purity. It may smell like coconut oil, but it’s nowhere close to the real deal.
How Adulterated Coconut Oil Affects Health
We use coconut oil daily, not just in food but also on our skin and hair. So, when it’s mixed with harmful additives, it silently affects our health in many ways:
- Digestive issues like bloating, acidity, or even stomach infections
- Hair fall and scalp irritation due to chemical additives
- Skin allergies and rashes, especially among children
- Long-term use can even weaken the immune system
As an Indian household that trusts age-old traditions, it’s important we go back to the roots – quite literally.
Stone-Pressed: The Traditional Way, The Right Way
In olden times, our grandmothers used to get oil made from fresh coconuts at local “ghani” mills. This method, also called stone-pressed oil extraction, ensures the oil retains its natural aroma, nutrients, and purity. No heating. No chemicals. Just slow, patient pressing in a stone mill, just like it was done for generations.
At OwnFresh, we’ve brought back this traditional method with modern hygiene and care. Every drop of our stone-pressed coconut oil is made from premium quality dried coconuts, pressed in wooden and stone mills, at low temperatures.
The result?
An oil that smells real, tastes natural, and feels pure – because it is.
How to Identify Pure Coconut Oil at Home
Here are a few simple ways you can test the purity of your coconut oil at home:
- Fridge Test:
Keep the oil in the refrigerator. Pure coconut oil solidifies at lower temperatures. If it stays liquid or separates oddly – it might be mixed. - Smell Test:
Pure coconut oil has a gentle, natural aroma. If it smells too strong or artificial, it’s likely perfumed. - Burn Test:
Dip a cotton wick in the oil and try to burn it. If it burns cleanly like a lamp, it’s likely pure.
But instead of testing every time, why not choose a brand you can trust?
