Edible (Ground Nut Oil)
Edible groundnut oil, commonly known as peanut oil, is a popular cooking oil derived from the seeds of the groundnut plant (Arachis hypogaea). It is widely used in various culinary applications around the world.
Edible (Ground Nut oil) Varieties
Refined Groundnut Oil
Refined groundnut oil undergoes extensive processing, which includes bleaching, deodorizing, and sometimes filtering. This results in a clear, odorless oil with a neutral flavor.
Cold-Pressed Groundnut Oil
Cold-pressed groundnut oil is extracted from groundnuts using mechanical pressing methods, without the use of heat. This preserves more of the natural flavors and nutrients.
Gourmet or Specialty Groundnut Oil
These specialty oils may be cold-pressed or undergo unique processing techniques to create distinct flavors. Some examples include roasted peanut oil, which is made from toasted peanuts for a robust flavor.
Blended Groundnut Oil
Blended groundnut oils are a mixture of groundnut oil and one or more other types of edible oils, such as soybean oil or sunflower oil.
