Groundnut Oil

Cold-pressed groundnut oil is extracted using traditional wooden Kohlu at temperatures below 50°C, which preserves all vitamins, antioxidants, and natural flavor. Refined oils use chemical solvents and high heat (150-200°C) that destroy nutrients and create harmful trans fats. Our cold-pressed oil retains the authentic nutty aroma and contains heart-healthy monounsaturated fats.

Absolutely! Groundnut oil has a high smoke point of 450°F (232°C), making it one of the best oils for deep frying. It's perfect for pakoras, samosas, puris, vadas, and all Indian fried snacks. The oil remains stable at high temperatures and doesn't break down or create harmful compounds.

Yes! Groundnut oil is rich in monounsaturated fats (46%) and polyunsaturated fats (32%), which help reduce bad cholesterol (LDL) and increase good cholesterol (HDL). It contains zero trans fats and is recommended by cardiologists as part of a heart-healthy diet. However, always consult your doctor for personalized dietary advice.

They're the same! Groundnut and peanut are different names for the same legume. In India, it's commonly called "moongfali" or groundnut, while internationally it's known as peanut. Our oil is extracted from premium quality groundnuts/peanuts.

Yes! Groundnut oil is excellent for skin and hair care. It's rich in Vitamin E, which provides anti-aging benefits, moisturizes skin, and strengthens hair. Use it for full body massage, hair conditioning, or as a natural moisturizer. It's gentle enough for baby massage too (patch test first). The oil absorbs well without leaving a greasy residue.

Once opened, use within 6-8 months for optimal freshness and nutritional value. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Our premium packaging protects against light and oxygen, but always ensure the cap is tightly closed after each use to prevent oxidation.

Yes, groundnut oil has a low glycemic index and doesn't spike blood sugar levels. The monounsaturated fats help improve insulin sensitivity. However, like all oils, use in moderation as part of a balanced diabetic diet. Consult your healthcare provider for personalized guidance.

No, absolutely not. If you have a peanut/groundnut allergy, avoid this product completely. Even cold-pressed oils contain allergenic proteins. Allergic reactions can be severe, so always check with your doctor if you have any food allergies.

The natural golden-yellow color is a sign of purity! Cold-pressed groundnut oil retains its natural color because it's unrefined and unbleached. Refined oils are clear and colorless because they undergo chemical processing and bleaching. The golden hue indicates that all natural compounds, vitamins, and antioxidants are intact.

Groundnut oil stands out for its high smoke point (450°F), making it superior for high-temperature cooking compared to olive, coconut, or sesame oils. It has a balanced fatty acid profile with 46% monounsaturated fats, 32% polyunsaturated fats, and only 17% saturated fats. The mild nutty flavor enhances food without overpowering it, unlike mustard or coconut oils.

While groundnut oil is more stable than many oils, we recommend limiting reuse to maintain quality and health benefits. If you must reuse, strain it to remove food particles, store properly, and use only 1-2 times. Never reuse oil that has darkened, smells off, or has been heated to smoking point.

Yes! We source groundnuts from farms that follow organic and natural farming practices. Our oil is lab-tested for zero pesticide residues and heavy metals. We hold organic certifications and all test reports are available for transparency.
