Overview

Description

Cold pressed peanut oil, also known as groundnut oil, is a premium-quality, nutrient-rich oil extracted through a traditional method that preserves its natural goodness. Unlike refined oils, cold pressing involves mechanically pressing the peanuts without the use of heat or chemicals, ensuring that the oil retains its full spectrum of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. This method not only maintains the oil’s purity but also enhances its flavor and nutritional profile, making it a preferred choice for health-conscious consumers.

Key Benefits

Cold pressed peanut oil is rich in monounsaturated fats, particularly oleic acid, which is known for its heart-healthy properties. It also contains a balanced amount of polyunsaturated fats, which support overall cardiovascular health. The oil is an excellent source of vitamin E, a potent antioxidant that helps protect the body from oxidative stress and supports healthy skin. Additionally, the presence of phytosterols in peanut oil can help reduce cholesterol levels, further contributing to heart health.

History

The history of cold pressed peanut oil is deeply intertwined with the agricultural practices and culinary traditions of regions where peanuts (also known as groundnuts) have been cultivated for centuries.

The cold pressing method of oil extraction has been practiced for thousands of years, particularly in regions where peanuts were grown. Traditional cold pressing involved using simple mechanical devices, such as wooden or stone presses, to crush the peanuts and extract the oil without the application of heat. This method ensured that the oil retained its natural flavor, aroma, and nutritional value, making it a preferred choice for culinary and therapeutic uses.

In India, for example, the ghani (a large mortar and pestle) was commonly used to cold press peanut oil. The slow, mechanical grinding process generated minimal heat, preserving the oil’s purity and quality. Cold pressed peanut oil became a key ingredient in Indian cooking, particularly in the southern regions where it was used for frying, sautéing, and adding depth to traditional dishes.

How to Use

For Sautéing

Choose a heavy-bottomed skillet or wok to Sauté your veggies or meat.

Add about 1 to 2 tablespoons of Nutri Oil Cold-pressed Peanut oil to lightly coat the bottom of the pan. Heat the oil. You can test if the oil is hot enough by tossing in a small piece of food— if it sizzles, the oil is ready.

Carefully add your ingredients to the pan.
Use a spatula or tongs to stir/toss the ingredients regularly, ensuring they cook evenly and develop a nice, golden-brown color.

Continue sautéing until your ingredients are cooked through and have developed a desirable texture. You can add additional seasonings like salt, pepper, herbs, or a splash of lemon juice to enhance the flavors of your dish.

Once done, remove the pan and serve hot.

For Deep Frying

Choose a deep, heavy-bottomed pot or a deep fryer. A deep pot with a heavy bottom helps maintain a consistent oil temperature and reduces the risk of hot oil spills. For Deep frying, add enough oil to submerge the food completely. Typically, the oil should fill about 1/3 to 1/2 of the pot.
Turn on the heat to medium-high and allow the oil to reach the optimal frying temperature of 350°F to 375°F (175°C to 190°C). Use a food thermometer to measure the temperature of the oil. Pat dry your food with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps prevent splattering and ensures a crisp exterior.
Drop a small piece of food or batter into the oil. If it sizzles and rises to the surface quickly, the oil is ready. Lower the food into the hot oil using a slotted spoon or frying basket to avoid splashes. Do not overcrowd the pot!
Fry the food until it turns golden brown and crispy. Cooking times will vary depending on the size and type of food.
