Teerthgold's Cold Pressed Groundnut Oil 5 Litre Pack

Cold-pressed groundnut oil, also known as cold-pressed peanut oil, is a natural, unrefined oil extracted from groundnuts (peanuts) using a traditional method that doesn't involve heat or chemicals. The process involves pressing the peanuts at low temperatures, typically below 120°F (49°C), which helps to retain the oil's natural flavor, aroma, and nutritional value.

Key Characteristics:

1. Nutrient-Rich: Cold-pressed groundnut oil is rich in vitamins E and K, antioxidants, and healthy fats, particularly monounsaturated fats, which are beneficial for heart health.

2. Flavor: It has a distinct nutty flavor and aroma, making it ideal for enhancing the taste of various dishes, especially in Indian, African, and Southeast Asian cuisines.

3. Health Benefits:

   • Heart Health: The high content of monounsaturated fats can help reduce bad cholesterol (LDL) levels and improve good cholesterol (HDL) levels.
   • Skin and Hair: The vitamin E content in the oil promotes healthy skin and hair.
   • Antioxidants: It contains resveratrol, which has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

4. Usage: Ideal for sautéing, frying, and as a dressing for salads. It’s also commonly used in traditional medicine and for massages due to its nourishing properties.

5. Shelf Life: Since it is unrefined, it has a shorter shelf life compared to refined oils and should be stored in a cool, dark place to prevent rancidity.

Cold-pressed groundnut oil is often preferred by those looking for a healthier, more natural oil option that retains the original nutrients and flavor of the peanuts.
