Daman, 26th August 2026 – As Indian families increasingly explore traditionally extracted oils for everyday meals, Ekas Healthy Foods answers a common question: Which Wood Pressed Oil Is Best for Cooking? The right choice depends on the cooking method, recipe, flavour preference, and overall dietary pattern.

Wood pressed oils are extracted by slowly pressing seeds or nuts using a traditional wooden ghani. This method involves minimal processing and helps retain the characteristic aroma and flavour of the source ingredient. Since each oil has a different fatty-acid profile and taste, there is no single wood pressed oil that is best for every recipe.

“Indian cooking includes many different techniques and flavours. Instead of choosing one oil for every dish, families can select suitable wood pressed oils according to the recipe, cooking method, and taste they prefer,” said a spokesperson from Ekas Healthy Foods.

Which Wood Pressed Oil Is Best for Cooking?

Here are some popular options for different household requirements:

Wood Pressed Groundnut Oil – A versatile option for everyday cooking, sabzis, tadka, sautéing, and many traditional dishes
Wood Pressed Mustard Oil – Suitable for curries, pickles, marinades, and regional recipes that benefit from a bold mustard flavour
Wood Pressed Sunflower Oil – Mild in taste and suitable for everyday dishes where a lighter flavour is preferred
Wood Pressed Sesame Oil – Offers a distinctive nutty taste and works well in selected traditional dishes, chutneys, and sautéed recipes
Wood Pressed Coconut Oil – Suitable for recipes where coconut aroma and flavour complement the dish
Wood Pressed Almond Oil – Suitable for selected culinary uses as well as skin, hair, and wellness applications

Groundnut Oil for Versatile Everyday Cooking

For households looking for one versatile option, Wood Pressed Groundnut Oil can work well across many everyday Indian recipes. Its characteristic nutty flavour complements sabzis, dals, tadka, snacks, and other home-cooked meals.

However, variety can also be useful. Mustard, sunflower, sesame, and coconut oils can be selected for different dishes based on flavour and cooking requirements.

Choosing the Right Wood Pressed Oil

When deciding which wood pressed oil is best for cooking, consider:

The cooking method you use regularly
The natural flavour of the oil
The type of dishes being prepared
The fatty-acid profile of the oil
The quality and source of the seeds or nuts
Your family's overall dietary pattern

No single cooking oil provides every nutritional advantage. Using suitable oils in appropriate quantities as part of a balanced diet can provide variety while complementing different Indian recipes.
