About Groundnut oil

Groundnut oil, also known as peanut oil, originates from crushed peanuts and is widely used in Asian, African, and American cuisines. Known for its mild flavor and high smoke point, it’s ideal for frying, sautéing, and roasting. This golden oil is rich in monounsaturated fats, which may support heart health when consumed in moderation. It also contains vitamin E, an antioxidant that helps protect cells from damage. Groundnut oil is cholesterol-free, making it a popular choice for cooking. However, it is calorie-dense and should be used sparingly to avoid overconsumption. Its polyunsaturated fat content can benefit the body but may degrade under high heat, producing harmful compounds. While it works well for high-heat cooking, people with peanut allergies should avoid it entirely, even if refined, to prevent allergic reactions. Groundnut oil’s versatility and nutritional properties make it a staple in many kitchens.
