Product Description

Peanut oil, also referred to as groundnut oil or arachis oil, is a vegetable-derived oil made from the edible seeds of the peanut plant. Peanut oil is a popular vegetable oil commonly used around the world.

This oil has a high smoke point (437℉ (225℃). This means that it is quite heat resistant and does not burn easily, making it a popular choice for frying foods. Peanut oil is high in monounsaturated fat, making it a popular choice for high-heat cooking. 

Primarily used in Central India and Gujarat.

Product Details

Light yellow To paraphrase Shakespeare slightly, the groundnut, by any other name, would taste as sweet. And so it has been bestowed with a handful of names - peanut, earth nut, goober pea, monkey nut, pig nut and pygmy nut.

Groundnut oil (which is actually a legume, part of the bean family), much like many other ingredients beloved to Indian cooking, most likely came to us from abroad. It might seem unfathomable to wrap our heads around because it feels like such a thoroughly Indian food, just like tomatoes, papaya, cashew, potatoes and chillies that all came from other countries but were embraced wholeheartedly.

Groundnut came to us from South America, where it originated (most likely in Brazil and Peru, where two varieties of the nut were born. Both made their way to India).

Method Preparation

Extracting oil through cold-pressing involves 'pressing' seeds to force out the oil. The seeds are dropped into a cylinder that contains a rotating screw. This screw grinds and crushes the seeds until the oil is extracted. Small holes in the bottom of the cylinder allow the oil to escape into a collection container.
By keeping temperatures to less than 40°C, the cold-pressed extraction process ensures there’s no exposure to heat or light. This helps to prolong freshness without affecting the oil’s nutritional value.
