Wood-Pressed Groundnut Oil

Lakdi ghani nu singtel (લાકડાની ઘાણીનું સીંગતેલ, also written lakda ghani nu singtel or lakdi ghani tel) is groundnut oil pressed on a wooden ghani: a wooden mortar and pestle that turns slowly, so the oil stays below 35°C. A steel expeller runs above 90°C. Bhurasa is lakdi ghani groundnut oil from Kathiyawadi G20 groundnuts, pressed in Jamnagar, unrefined and unfiltered.

Yes. Singtel is simply the Gujarati word for groundnut oil, and Bhurasa is sing tel in its oldest form — pressed on a wooden ghani below 35°C instead of a steel expeller. Most singtel sold as "kachi ghani" today is machine-pressed and refined at 90–300°C, then filtered clear. Bhurasa is unrefined, unfiltered, single-origin singtel from Kathiyawadi groundnuts grown in Agro Zone VI, Jamnagar.

The 15L tin is the big family dabba and works out cheapest per litre — best for a family cooking daily. The 5L tin is the trial size: enough to cook with for weeks before you commit. Both hold the same oil from the same batch.

Bhurasa oil has a natural shelf life of 9 months from the date of pressing. No preservatives are added. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The shorter shelf life is proof of purity — refined oils last 12–24 months only because of chemical preservatives.

Shipping charges are calculated from your delivery pincode. Orders are dispatched within 24–48 hours and typically arrive in 5–7 business days. Cash on Delivery is available in Gujarat. Shipping is handled via trusted courier partners. We do not ship to Jammu & Kashmir, Ladakh and the north-eastern states.

Natural sediment is a sign of purity. Our oil is unrefined and unfiltered — the sediment contains phospholipids, natural waxes and trace minerals that industrial refining strips away. Refined oils look clear because chemicals have removed every natural particle.

No, and we do not call it organic. In India, food can be sold as organic only with NPOP or PGS-India certification and the Jaivik Bharat logo, and Bhurasa does not hold that certification. What we can say: it is pressed the traditional, chemical-free wooden-ghani way, the way our grandparents pressed groundnut, from Kathiyawadi G20 groundnut bought directly from farmers in Jamnagar district. Below 35°C, unrefined, unfiltered, no preservatives.

Store in the original tin, sealed tightly, in a cool, dry place. Avoid direct sunlight and heat. The oil is best consumed within 9 months of opening.
