Sekkadi is a small initiative started in 2015 with the ultimate vision of switching people from the usage of chemically heat-treated hybrid oils to our traditional cold-pressed oil. Coming from our agricultural community, Sekkadi uses top-quality, wild-crafted, and chemical-free oils under the visionary of the great Nammazhvar, the messiah of the green revolution. Stunned by the fantastic quality and aroma of our oil in Chennai kitchens, our family has begun slowly expanding to become one of the top cold-pressed oil businesses in Chennai.
According to World Health Standards, 15ml–20ml is the ideal quantity to be consumed per day per person. Roughly if you are a family of 4, then no more than 3 litres of oil should be consumed per month.
No, not consuming oil causes a lot of problems. Oil is needed for hormone regulation, lubricating the skin and joints as well as cushioning the organs. Consuming oil in a recommended quantity makes our bodies healthy.
All our oils come with a 6 month expiry date since we don’t use any preservatives. If you are using more than the shelf life, we recommend you to follow our ancestor’s procedure of keep the oil under sunlight for 4 to 5 hours every week keeping it fresh and edible. We also recommend you buy oils based on your monthly consumption, so you can always use freshly produced oil.
It is advised to store the cooking oil in a clean glass jar or metal container. To avoid oxidation, keep the oil away from direct sunlight with the plastic container. This holds good for any type of oil that you use.
Glass Bottle is very costly, so we don’t want our customers to bear that cost. We advise our customers to store the oil in glass or metal containers once it is delivered.
We don’t use any artificial colours to maintain the same colour consistency. The seeds we use impact the colour of the oil. As seeds are procured from different farmers, slight colour changes may be noticed, which is a sign of pure oil, compared to refined oil, which is of the same quality no matter where it comes from.
All our oils are been used by our ancestors for more than 300 years. You can use it for gravies and salads. It enhances the aroma and taste of the dish. Try it yourself and let us know.
This means, during the extraction process, the temperature of nuts or seeds is maintained at room temperature. Temperature can be maintained low only if a traditional wooden churner (Mara Chekku) is used and extracted by a slow mechanical process. Since the oil is not heated, it retains the natural nutrients, flavor, color, and texture. Consuming this oil is good for our health and overall wellbeing. It is also called Mara Chekku Ennai in Tamil Nadu.
