Cold Pressed Oils for Cooking Without Refined Oils

Cold Pressed Oils for Cooking Without Refined Oils

Break Free from Refined Oils – Choose Purity & Nutrition

Refined oils are everywhere — but at what cost? Chemically extracted, bleached, and deodorized, most refined oils lose their natural nutrients, antioxidants, and flavor. They may look clear and attractive, but they come at the expense of your health. At SutraKart, we believe in going back to the roots — with cold pressed oils that retain nature’s purity, aroma, and healing power.

This collection is curated for health-conscious families looking to eliminate refined oils from daily meals and switch to a more natural, wholesome way of cooking. Every drop of our oil is extracted using wooden ghani (lakdi ghana) methods without heat, hexane, or chemicals.
