Our Sunflower Oil is a traditional, unrefined cooking oil produced using a bull-driven Ghani / cold-pressed method.

The oil is produced by Nammaveedu, an IT Engineer turned farmer, from Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu, India.

The sunflower seeds used to prepare this oil are naturally grown. The oil is not chemically treated during the traditional preparation process.

At Sampoorna Swadesi, we look beyond the bottle. We want to know where the seeds come from, who produces the oil and how the oil is extracted.

What Is Bull-Driven Ghani Oil?

Ghani is a traditional Indian method of extracting oil from oilseeds.

The seeds are crushed and pressed through a traditional mechanical process to release their oil.

For Sampoorna Swadesi, traditional extraction methods are an important part of our effort to connect customers with traditional Indian food practices and producers.

What Does “Unrefined” Mean?

This Sunflower Oil is unrefined.

It is not processed to achieve a completely standardised colour, aroma, clarity or thickness.

You may therefore notice natural differences in:

• Colour
• Aroma
• Thickness
• Clarity
• Texture
• Sediment

Every batch may not look exactly the same.

The colour and aroma may also change naturally over time.

We cannot guarantee identical colour, structure, thickness or aroma in every bottle.

These variations are an expected characteristic of traditionally produced, unrefined oil.

Why May There Be Sediment at the Bottom?

You may occasionally notice natural sediment settling at the bottom of the bottle.

Because this is an unrefined oil, it is not processed to achieve the highly clear and uniform appearance of a refined oil.

The amount of sediment can naturally vary between batches.

Important

Sediment should not by itself be treated as a scientific test of purity. The product should instead be assessed according to its labelled specifications and applicable food-quality requirements.

Singapore’s Food Regulations contain specific requirements for edible fats and oils, including requirements relating to taste and odour.

Natural Colour & Aroma Variation

Unlike highly standardised refined oils, traditionally produced unrefined oil can naturally vary from one production batch to another.

Variation can be influenced by:

• Sunflower seed variety
• Growing conditions
• Harvest
• Seed characteristics
• Production batch
• Traditional extraction process
• Storage conditions
• Time after production

Therefore:

Colour variation is expected.
Aroma variation is expected.
Thickness variation is expected.
Clarity variation is expected.

We do not artificially standardise every bottle to look exactly the same.

Naturally Grown Sunflower Seeds

The sunflower seeds used for preparing this oil are naturally grown.

For us, the quality journey starts with the raw material.

We therefore consider both:

The source and cultivation of the seeds
and
the traditional method used to extract the oil.

This is an important part of the Sampoorna Swadesi selection philosophy.

From Naturally Grown Sunflower Seeds to Oil

The journey of our Sunflower Oil begins with naturally grown sunflower seeds.

The seeds are processed using a traditional bull-driven Ghani / cold-pressing method.

The oil is not refined simply to make every bottle look identical.

Therefore, natural variation from batch to batch is expected.

Meet Producer

This Sunflower Oil is produced by Nammaveedu, Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu, India.

The producer has a unique journey — an IT Engineer who turned towards farming.

At Sampoorna Swadesi, we value such producer relationships and the connection between farming, traditional food production and the land.

Experience It in Your Cooking

This Sunflower Oil is for customers who appreciate the traditional character of unrefined, cold-pressed oil.

You can experience its natural characteristics through its:

• Aroma
• Flavour
• Texture
• Cooking experience

Rather than making unverified health claims, we prefer to let the product speak for itself through its traditional production and cooking experience.

The Sampoorna Swadesi Concept

We don’t simply select an oil because it is available in the market.

We want to understand:

Where do the seeds come from?
How are they grown?
Who produces the oil?
How is the oil extracted?
Is it refined or unrefined?

For this Sunflower Oil:

Producer: Nammaveedu
Location: Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu, India
Raw Material: Naturally grown sunflower seeds
Extraction: Bull-Driven Ghani / Cold Pressed
Processing: Unrefined

Know Your Producer. Know Your Seeds. Know Your Oil.

This transparency is at the heart of the Sampoorna Swadesi concept.

Storage Instructions

For best quality:

• Store in a cool, dry place.
• Keep the bottle tightly closed.
• Keep away from direct sunlight.
• Keep away from excessive heat.
• Use clean, dry utensils when handling the oil.
• Do not allow water or moisture to enter the bottle.

Natural changes in colour, aroma and appearance may occur during storage.

Important Product Notice

This is NOT a standardised refined oil.

Please understand that we cannot guarantee identical:

• Colour
• Aroma
• Thickness
• Structure
• Clarity
• Sediment level

in every batch or throughout the storage period.

Natural variation is part of the character of this product and should not automatically be considered a product defect.

Prepacked edible oils sold in Singapore are subject to applicable food-labelling requirements, and SFA identifies cooking oil as a prepacked food category subject to those requirements.

Replacement Policy

We want to be transparent about our replacement policy.

We generally DO NOT replace the oil because of:

• Change in colour
• Change in aroma
• Difference in thickness
• Difference in clarity
• Natural sediment at the bottom
• Batch-to-batch variation
• Natural changes during storage

These characteristics can occur with traditionally produced, unrefined oil.

Replacement will be considered if:

The oil develops an abnormal bitter taste or there is another genuine product-quality issue.

If you believe there is a genuine quality issue, please contact us with:

• Order number
• Product photographs
• Batch/lot details, if available
• Description of the issue

We will review the matter and assist accordingly.
