Chekku castor oil is produced using the same traditional cold-pressed method as Gingelly oil, where seeds are crushed slowly in a wooden press without the use of heat or chemicals.

This process helps retain the natural nutrients, aroma, and medicinal properties of the oil. However, while both oils share the same extraction method, their uses are quite different.

Gingelly oil is widely used for cooking as well as for skin and hair care due to its mild taste and health benefits. In contrast, castor oil is much thicker and is mainly used for external purposes such as promoting hair growth, moisturizing skin, and in some traditional medicinal applications.

Because of its strong taste and potent nature, castor oil is not commonly used for regular cooking like gingelly oil.

Overall, both oils are natural and high-quality when cold-pressed, but they serve different purposes in daily use.
