Sekkadi: The Traditional Path to Uncompromised Health

The modern edible oil industry has normalized a dangerous compromise: sacrificing nutritional value for an infinite shelf life. Mass-market cooking oils undergo extreme processing—involving scorching heat, intense steel friction, and chemical bleaching—that strips the seed of its natural vitality. Sekkadi was founded to break this cycle. By returning exclusively to the ancient Vaagai Marachekku (wooden press) technique, we deliver oils that remain 100% unrefined, bioactive, and structurally intact.

The Sekkadi Standard: Slow-Crafted for Pure Vitality

Industrial steel presses heat up rapidly, effectively "cooking" the oil and destroying its fragile nutritional profile long before bottling. We fiercely protect the seed's integrity through two traditional methods:



  1. Genuine Zero-Heat Extraction: Our expertly carved Vaagai wood press naturally absorbs the intense friction of the crush. This guarantees a true cold-extraction process, perfectly preserving heat-sensitive vitamins and living plant enzymes.




  2. The Karupatti Tradition: We absolutely reject artificial preservatives. Instead, we cold-crush our seeds alongside pure palm jaggery (Karupatti)—a time-tested ancestral technique that naturally halts oxidation while infusing the oil with vital trace minerals.

Oral Detoxification The absolute gold standard for the ancient practice of Gandusha (oil pulling), naturally drawing out toxins to protect your teeth and gums.





Radically Honest, Unfiltered Nutrition

We will never bleach, chemically alter, or artificially deodorize our oils to mimic the unnatural, transparent look of mass-market brands. A standard 100g serving of our Gingelly oil delivers 899 kcal of pure, functional energy with absolutely Zero Trans Fats.


Embrace the Sediment: If you spot a cloudy layer resting at the bottom of your bottle, celebrate it! That sediment is the ultimate mark of genuine quality—the unfiltered essence, raw micronutrients, and healthy seed proteins that commercial factories chemically strip away.
