Every year, Nature Conservation Day reminds us that protecting the environment isn't only about large-scale initiatives. It is also about the choices we make every single day. The food we cook, the products we buy, and the agricultural practices we support all contribute to the health of our planet. One such everyday choice is the cooking oil we use.

There was a time when cooking was never a one-person task. Whether it was preparing a feast for a wedding, making pickles for the year ahead, or cooking meals during festivals, entire communities came together around food.
