100% pure cold-pressed organic extra virgin Moringa Oleifera Oil.
Cold-pressing is a traditional method of extracting oil from seeds or nuts without the use of heat or chemicals. The cold-pressing process preserves the oil's natural nutrients, flavor, and aroma, making it highly desirable for various applications, including Moringa Oil extraction.
Here's an explanation of how one cold-presses Moringa Oil:
1. Harvesting the Seeds: The process begins by harvesting the mature Moringa oleifera pods. These pods contain seeds, and it is from these seeds that Moringa Oil is extracted.
2. Drying the Seeds: Once harvested, the Moringa seeds are spread out in the sun to dry naturally. This step is crucial, as it helps reduce the seed's moisture content, which ensures a higher yield of oil during the extraction process.
3. Decortication: After drying, the outer husk or shell of the seeds is removed through a process called decortication. This step is not always necessary, but it can be performed to improve the efficiency of oil extraction.
4. Mechanical Pressing: The dried and cleaned Moringa seeds are then placed into a mechanical cold press. The press consists of a screw or piston that exerts pressure on the seeds, gradually crushing them to extract the oil. No heat is applied during this process, ensuring that the oil retains its natural properties.
5. Oil Separation: As pressure is applied, the oil is forced out of the Moringa seeds. The oil and the solid remnants of the seeds (called seed cake or meal) are then separated. The oil collected is pure, unrefined, and retains the full nutritional benefits of Moringa.
6. Filtration: To remove any remaining solids or impurities, the extracted Moringa Oil undergoes filtration. This step ensures the oil is clean and ready for use.
7. Bottling and Storage: The cold-pressed Moringa Oil is then carefully bottled and stored in dark, airtight containers to protect it from light and air, preserving its freshness and quality.
Cold-pressed Moringa Oil is highly regarded for its richness in nutrients, antioxidants, and its ability to nourish and revitalize the skin and hair. This gentle extraction method ensures that the oil remains pure, potent, and suitable for various beauty, health, and culinary applications.
