I knew about cold pressed juice but Recently came across something called cold pressed atta. 

Is this another marketing gimmick or is it really better than normal atta such as Ashirvad atta?

I would love to hear your thoughts.

It may have a difference.

But not a big difference.

Speed kills ,But can we really avoid shortcuts like

Pressure cooking to slow cooking , riding to walking

Artificial to natural ripening , to making a call to Making a visit , Chemical healing to natural healing etc

I guess yess, in our grand/grand grand parents era we (humans) used to do grinder at home using small chakki , which was slow and doesn't raise the temp.

While these auto grinding machines do.

Aesa kaha jata hai ki nutrients nasht ho jate hai ,heat se.

So farak toh padta hai.

Also, pehle wali chakki se aata mota pista tha, aaj kal option hai par majorly barik pissa hua milta hai. Which again has health benifits (mota is good ,barik is less or no good)

all the nutrients will be lost in a mill at say 50°C
but will remain intact when we brutally heats them on a pan of say 200°C
and then throws on direct flame at 300°C

Cold press 

All are marketing glimpse

There was an elderly person whom we knew of.
He would daily or almost daily, make his own wheat flour or other flour
by using the ghatti as he called it.
This contraption with two large traditional stones and putting the floor by hand, was/is called a 'ghatti/घट्टी' in some Northern states.

Calling this 'cold pressed', is like referring to trampoline jumping as bungee jumping and vice versa.

The non English, vernacular word/s for physically cold pressed oils... is "ghaani".

These old style, hand cranked (non electric) traditional grinding stone made devices are called ghatti or some may call this too 'aata chakki'.

However, if in a hopper, just like in any automated plant, the grains are pouring
and
electrically operated motors are spinning the stones at even 100 rpm.. then it still is not the same (slow) process has hand cranked.

The middle aged turned elderly person whom I referenced above
too only seemed to be doing it as exercise or his muscle fitness.
He did consume flat breads made with flour made in conventional electric mill.


What lab tests or non modern science tests, but measurable way of quantifying the amount of nutrients saved by not running it at high rpm?

Theoretically, the same logic is used by people to purchase wet grinders, when a normal mixer jar too prepares the dosa batter/ idli batter.
(The reasoning that, oh the high spinning blades in a mixer grinder have a partial cooking/heating effect
whereas the wet grinder does it slowly and not loose the essence of the materials.)


Another thing to watch out for, is that
the traditional stones get smooth faster and thus from time to time, the टचाई/resurfacing needs to be done.
[Emery stones in those portable, home use electric flour mills do not need such resurfacing.]

Ladies in our homes, would get really upset if some flour mill owner/ chakkiwallah forgot to disclose that either of the stones (in the electrically operated mill) had been resurfaced earlier that day or the night before.

The ladies would often wait a day and let the flour of others have chances of getting the किर-किर (fine debris/ remnants of the resurfaced stone),
😆than to have those fine particles (of the grinding stone plates) in our flour.

Also, I never understood how 👩🏻they👩🏻 managed the slightly thicker flour from gram, when they used to talk amongst themselves (besan/बेसन ki barfi/chikki ke liye.. mota aata pisa.)
I do not know how the thickness versus fine-ness of the flour could be manipulated in the hand cranked stones.

In electric ones, it is obviously possible to have the milling stones closer or farther apart.

@harrier_XJ The fineness could be controlled by using heavier/lighter top-stone as well as amount of dehydration - by drying the grains in the sun or little stirring in a pot which is hot...
