Gingelly Oil - Cold Pressed

MyHarvestFarms Cold Pressed Gingelly Oil – The Golden Essence of Tamil Tradition

Do you remember the rich, nutty aroma of nallennai sizzling in the kadai, signaling the start of a hearty Sunday vatha kuzhambu or the soothing massage oil your paati used during hot summers? MyHarvestFarms Cold Pressed Gingelly Oil brings back that soulful essence of tradition and wellness straight from our ancestral kitchens.

Made using premium-grade sesame seeds, this oil is extracted through the traditional mara chekku (wooden press) method, without any heat or chemicals. The result is a golden-brown oil with a deep, nutty aroma and a thick, smooth texture – just as it should be. Every drop carries the original richness and warmth that store-bought refined oils simply can’t match.

Unlike factory-processed oils, our gingelly oil retains its natural lignans, antioxidants, and vitamin E – making it a powerful ally for heart health, joint care, digestion, and skin nourishment. It's also naturally cooling for the body, making it ideal for Tamil Nadu’s warm climate.

Drizzle it over idli podi, use it to temper your kootu or poriyal, or apply it as a healing oil – MyHarvestFarms Cold Pressed Gingelly Oil is a timeless staple that adds depth, nutrition, and nostalgia to every home-cooked meal.
