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 chemicals, our process keeps the oil cold, preserving the natural nutrients that your body needs.
Why Choose Shuddhayu Wood Pressed Kardai Oil?
Safflower oil is prized in Ayurveda for its light texture and immense health benefits. By choosing the wood-pressed version, you ensure you are getting the oil in its "living" state.
-
Heart-Friendly Fats: Rich in Unsaturated Fatty Acids (MUFA & PUFA) that help maintain healthy cholesterol levels.
-
High Smoke Point: Perfect for Indian kitchens! It is stable at high temperatures, making it safe for deep frying, sautéing, and tempering (Tadka).
-
Skin & Hair Care: Rich in Vitamin E, it acts as a natural moisturizer and antioxidant for skin health.
-
Weight Management: Safflower oil contains Linoleic acid, which is known to help in managing healthy body weight when used as part of a balanced diet.
The Shuddhayu Quality Guarantee
-
Zero Chemicals: No Hexane, no Argemone oil, and no mineral oils.
-
Unrefined & Natural: We don't bleach our oils. The deep golden color is 100% natural.
-
Small Batch Production: We press in small batches to ensure you receive the freshest oil with the longest shelf life.
How to Use Kardai Oil in Your Daily Life
-
In Cooking: Use it for making Bhajis, Maharashtrian Puran Poli, or daily Sabzis. Its neutral taste won't change the flavor of your spices.
-
For Wellness: Many use it for "Oil Pulling" in the morning to improve oral hygiene.
-
As a Massage Oil: Because it is light and non-greasy, it is excellent for skin massage, especially in summer.
