How We Extract:
At Pugal’s Castor Oil, we use the traditional method of extracting castor oil, which has been used for centuries. This process involves manual or semi-manual techniques without the use of modern machinery. The steps include:
Step 1: Boiling or roasting the castor seeds in an iron pan.
Step 2: The boiled castor seeds are spread under the sun for 2-3 days to dry.
Step 3: The dried seeds are crushed using a traditional stone grinder, wooden mortar and pestle, or by pounding them with stones to form a thick paste.
Step 4: The seed paste is mixed with water and placed in a large clay or metal pot. The mixture is slowly heated over a fire. As it heats, oil begins to separate and float on the surface. The process can take several hours, requiring continuous stirring.
Step 5: The floating oil is carefully skimmed off and filtered using a clean cotton cloth. It is then stored in glass bottles, clay pots, or metal containers for future use. Castor oil should be kept in a cool, dark place to maintain its quality.
Advantages of the Traditional Method
✔ No chemicals or solvents used, making the oil pure and natural.
✔ Simple and low-cost process, suitable for small-scale production.
✔ Retains most of the nutrients and medicinal properties.
