Helianthus annuus · pressed at Dryland plots, Maharashtra
Sunflower Oil
सूर्यफूल तेल
Pressed from black sunflower seed and left unrefined, so it keeps the pale gold colour and faint nuttiness that refining removes. The lightest everyday oil in the range.

Grown on dryland plots that follow the rabi rains.
Sunflower is the oil most Indian kitchens buy refined, in a plastic jar, stripped of everything. Pressed cold it is a different thing entirely: pale gold rather than water-clear, with a faint seed sweetness behind it.
The seed is hulled and pressed slowly. Because it is high in polyunsaturated fat it is also the most light-sensitive oil we make, so it goes straight into the bottle and should live in a cupboard rather than beside the stove.
Nothing is bleached, nothing is deodorised, and no antioxidant is added.
