Description
Wood pressed niger seed oil is a type of edible oil that is extracted from the seeds of the niger plant (Guizotia abyssinica) using traditional wooden presses. The niger plant is native to Ethiopia and is grown widely in India and other parts of the world.
In the traditional wood pressing method, the niger seeds are first sun-dried and then manually crushed using a wooden press to extract the oil. This method of oil extraction is believed to be healthier as it does not involve any heat or chemicals, and thus, the natural properties of the oil are retained.
Wood pressed niger seed oil is rich in essential fatty acids, particularly linoleic acid, which is an omega-6 fatty acid. It is also a good source of antioxidants and other nutrients, such as vitamin E, magnesium, and zinc.
This oil is used in cooking and is also used in traditional medicine practices for its health benefits. It is believed to have anti-inflammatory properties and may help in lowering cholesterol levels, improving skin and hair health, and supporting heart health.
