Unlock Heart Health with Traditionally Pressed Kardai (Safflower) Oil
Not all cooking oils are created equal. Shuddhayu Wood Pressed Safflower Oil (also known as Kardai Tel) is extracted using the ancient Lakdi Ghani method. Unlike modern refined oils that use high heat and chemical solvents, our slow cold-press process preserves the natural nutrients your body truly needs.
This is oil in its purest, most natural form — unrefined, unbleached, and free from chemicals.
Why Choose Shuddhayu Wood Pressed Kardai Oil?
Safflower oil is highly valued in Ayurveda for its light texture and heart-supporting properties. Choosing wood-pressed ensures the oil remains in its natural “living” state.
- Heart-Friendly Fats: Rich in Unsaturated Fatty Acids (MUFA & PUFA) that help support healthy cholesterol levels.
- High Smoke Point: Stable at high temperatures — perfect for deep frying, sautéing, roasting, and Indian tadka.
- Rich in Vitamin E: Acts as a powerful antioxidant supporting skin and hair health.
- Supports Weight Management: Contains Linoleic Acid, known to support balanced metabolism when used in a healthy diet.
- Light & Easy to Digest: Ideal for daily cooking without heaviness.
The Shuddhayu Quality Guarantee

- Unrefined & Natural: We do not bleach, deodorize, or refine our oils.

- No Preservatives: 100% natural with nothing artificial added.
How to Use Kardai Oil in Daily Life
- Cooking: Ideal for Bhajis, Sabzis, Puran Poli, frying, sautéing, and everyday Indian cooking. Neutral taste that doesn’t overpower spices.
- Oil Pulling: Traditionally used in the morning for oral wellness routines.
- Skin Massage: Light texture makes it suitable for body massage, especially in warmer climates.
