Why We Choose the Ghani (Cold-Press) Method

At TerraNut, our process is inspired by ancient food traditions — including the Ghani method, one of the earliest known ways to press and preserve food.

The Ghani method was traditionally used to press oils and preserve foods using slow pressure and low temperatures, without heat or chemicals. This gentle process protected both nutrients and flavor, while creating food that could last longer and travel well.

Before modern refrigeration, people relied on pressed foods made with natural fats to sustain them during long journeys, hard work, and changing seasons.

This was the original form of portable, nourishing food.

What Makes the Ghani Method Different

Unlike modern industrial processing, the Ghani method:

•   Uses slow pressure, not heat

•   Preserves the natural structure of ingredients

•   Maintains flavor without artificial enhancers

•   Avoids chemical extraction

In ancient times, dry meats, nuts, and fats were pressed together using this method to:

•   Remove excess moisture

•   Extend shelf life

•   Create compact, energy-dense food

•   Make food easier to store and carry

The word press itself comes from this idea — applying patience and pressure instead of force.

How This Tradition Lives On at TerraNut

Our cold-pressed snacks follow the same philosophy:

•   Minimal processing

•   Real ingredients

•   No shortcuts

By choosing a method inspired by the Ghani tradition, we protect what matters most — the integrity of the food.

We believe food should fuel the body the way it once did:

•   Simply

•   onestly

•   Naturally

Rooted in Ancient Wisdom

The Ghani method reminds us that good food doesn’t need to be reinvented — it needs to be respected.

At TerraNut, we honor this ancient approach by combining:

•   Time-tested methods

•   Modern food safety

•   A deep respect for ingredients

That’s how we create snacks meant for today’s busy life — while staying rooted in the wisdom of the past.
