Discover the Difference with Medhavi Superfoods

At Medhavi Superfoods, we follow India’s ancient Lakdi Ghani (wooden churner) technique to extract coconut oil in the purest, most natural way possible — without heat, chemicals, or compromise. This method preserves the oil’s natural nutrients, rich flavor, and authentic aroma, making it a superior choice over regular coconut oil. Let’s explore why wood cold pressed coconut oil stands apart and how it enhances both your health and lifestyle.

What Is Wood-Pressed Coconut Oil?

Wood-pressed coconut oil, also known as wood cold pressed coconut oil, is extracted through the traditional Lakdi Ghani method. In this process, dried coconut meat (copra) is gently pressed using a wooden pestle that rotates slowly — typically under 20 RPM.

This slow churning minimizes heat generation (below 50°C), ensuring that the oil retains all its natural vitamins, antioxidants, and fatty acids. Unlike modern extraction methods that rely on high pressure and temperature, wood-pressing produces pure, nutrient-rich coconut oil that remains unrefined and chemical-free.

How Wood-Pressed Coconut Oil Is Made

1. Careful Selection of Coconuts
   Only mature, fresh coconuts are chosen for extraction to ensure rich flavor and high-quality oil.
   
   

2. Traditional Lakdi Ghani Churning
   The grated coconut meat is placed in a wooden ghani (churner), which rotates slowly under 50°C — a temperature low enough to preserve vital nutrients.
   
   

3. Natural Extraction and Filtration
   The oil seeps out naturally through the wooden press and undergoes gravity-based filtration without the use of chemicals or solvents.
   
   

4. Pure Settling Process
   The oil is then allowed to settle naturally to maintain its golden hue, tropical aroma, and authentic taste.
   
   

This meticulous process may take longer and yield less oil, but it ensures every drop is pure, nutrient-dense, and premium in quality.

Nutritional and Health Benefits of Wood-Pressed Coconut Oil

The nutritional composition of wood-pressed coconut oil makes it a true superfood. Here’s why:

1. Rich in Lauric Acid and Medium-Chain Fatty Acids

Lauric acid makes up about 45–48% of wood-pressed coconut oil’s fatty acids. It’s known for its antimicrobial and antiviral properties, helping fight bacteria, fungi, and other harmful pathogens.
These medium-chain fatty acids are similar to those found in mother’s milk — providing natural support for immunity and energy.

2. High in Vitamin E and Antioxidants

Wood-pressed coconut oil retains more vitamin E and natural antioxidants compared to refined oils. These protect your cells from oxidative stress, promote skin health, and strengthen the immune system.

3. Supports Heart Health

Regular consumption of pure coconut oil can help balance cholesterol levels.
Lauric acid helps increase HDL (good) cholesterol while maintaining a healthy ratio with LDL (bad) cholesterol, supporting overall cardiovascular wellness.

4. Promotes Healthy Skin and Hair

Medhavi’s wood-pressed coconut oil doubles as a natural moisturizer.
It nourishes dry skin, improves elasticity, and strengthens hair roots — preventing split ends and enhancing shine without synthetic additives.

5. Aids Digestion and Gut Health

Its antimicrobial nature helps maintain a balanced gut microbiome, supports digestion, and enhances nutrient absorption. The oil’s low glycemic index can also aid in blood sugar management, making it suitable for diabetic-friendly diets.

Wood-Pressed vs. Regular Coconut Oil: What’s the Difference?

Wood-pressed coconut oil contains up to 50% higher vitamin E content and maintains lower acid and peroxide values — clear indicators of its superior quality and freshness.

Though it may cost 20–30% more, the value lies in its purity, flavor, and health benefits that far outweigh regular varieties.
