Cold pressing involves extracting oil from seeds, nuts, or fruits without using heat or chemicals. The mechanical process (often using a hydraulic press) operates at a low temperature to ensure that the oil retains its natural flavor, aroma, and nutritional value.

The rapeseed plant is known for its golden-yellow flowers, which bloom in the summer.
Its oil, which goes by the names of rapeseed and canola, is widely used in cooking, baking, and food processing.
It's crucial to understand the difference between industrial and culinary rapeseed oil. Canola is another name for the culinary variant.
The automotive and chemical sectors use industrial rapeseed oil, whereas the culinary form is used in cooking. The genetic makeup and quantity of erucic acid, which is damaging to your health in big amounts, distinguishes the two varieties. In truth, canola oil must contain less than 2% erucic acid and meet globally regulated requirements in order to be labelled as such.
Otherwise, it will be labeled as rapeseed oil. However, most varieties in grocery stores are canola oil.
Rapeseed oil contains less saturated fat than other regularly used cooking oils, and it is popular in the Indian subcontinent as a traditional cooking oil. It is typically used as frying oil due to its distinct odour. Vitamin E is also abundant in rapeseed oil. Rapeseed oil has regenerative capabilities, making it a great moisturiser and anti-aging agent.
Because of its high quantities of alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3), which is too scarce in today's diets, rapeseed oil has fascinating dietary qualities. It's become a staple on dining tables.
