Why Cold Pressed Oil?
Just like any other type of castor oil, cold pressed castor oil is extracted from castor bean seeds. These castor bean seeds are rich with oil, which makes up 50-60% of their weight. To extract the oil from the seeds, pressure is applied to the beans so that they release the oil and all the nutrients they contain, including minerals and essential fatty acids.
Some manufacturers make use of excessive heat, chemicals and solvent to extract the castor oil from the castor beans. Although this method of extraction is quicker and cheaper, the castor oil produced is inferior in quality because the oil’s purity is compromised. Furthermore, many of the nutrients and beneficial compounds are lost during the manufacturing process.
That is not the case with cold pressed castor oil, which does not make use of excessive heat and other chemicals to produce the oil. Instead, natural methods of pressing are used. This process takes time, but produces 100% pure, food grade quality castor oil. Cold pressed castor oil can be used as a dietary supplement as it is suitable for both internal and external use.
The purest form of cold pressed castor oil is virgin castor oil, which is produced from the first cold pressing of castor beans. It is considered to be the highest quality oil, since the first pressing releases the highest concentration of the castor beans’ minerals, nutrients and essential fatty acids. Virgin castor oil has a variety of health and wellness benefits.
