This method of processing allows preserving a whole complex of useful substances, vitamins and compounds that are easily destroyed by heat. Such oil contains a maximum of polyunsaturated fatty acids (omega-3, -6, -9), vitamins (A, B1, B2, B6, E, K, T) trace elements (zinc, phosphorus, iron, manganese) and other substances (chlorophyll, carotene, tannins, phytosterol, etc.). That together makes it an incredible product in terms of its characteristics.
