Whether you’re preparing an everyday meal or a festive feast, our cold-pressed groundnut oil adds a mild nutty flavor and smooth texture to every dish. It’s a versatile and natural choice for a range of cooking needs — from deep frying to salad dressings and everything in between.

What Makes Cold Pressed Groundnut Oil Special?

Cold pressing is a mechanical method of oil extraction that doesn’t involve heat treatment or chemical refining. This allows the oil to retain the natural compounds, taste, and aroma of groundnuts, giving it a distinct character and quality.

Cold-pressed groundnut oil is popular in traditional Indian households and is increasingly favored by modern kitchens for its authenticity and versatility.

Color, Taste & Aroma

Color: Naturally golden yellow, with slight variation depending on the groundnut variety.

Taste: Smooth, nutty, and mildly sweet — the oil’s taste mirrors that of peanuts but with a more refined and subtle flavor.

Aroma: A warm, pleasant nuttiness that adds a rich sensory note to your cooking.

Culinary Versatility of Cold Pressed Groundnut Oil

One of the greatest strengths of cold-pressed groundnut oil lies in its versatility. With a high smoke point and a mild flavor, it complements both traditional and contemporary cooking styles. Some popular uses include:

Deep Frying: Thanks to its high smoke point, groundnut oil is ideal for frying puris, pakoras, snacks, and more.

Sautéing & Stir Frying: It holds up well under high heat, making it suitable for quick-cook dishes.

Roasting: Add depth to roasted vegetables and meats with a drizzle of groundnut oil.

Seasoning: Used in South Indian cooking to temper spices or finish dishes with a flavor-rich touch.

Baking: Its mild flavor doesn’t overpower baked goods and adds a unique twist to cookies or breads.

Creative Ways to Use Groundnut Oil

Explore beyond the basics with these ideas:

Salad Dressings

Its slightly nutty profile pairs well with citrusy or tangy vinaigrettes, adding body and flavor to salads without being overwhelming.

Marinades

Blend groundnut oil with ingredients like soy sauce, lime juice, garlic, and herbs to make delicious marinades for meat, fish, tofu, or paneer.

Dipping Sauces

Use groundnut oil as a base for sauces and dips — try it with crushed peanuts, garlic, chili, and tamarind for a tangy peanut dip that complements spring rolls, kebabs, or raw vegetables.

Natural Composition

Cold-pressed groundnut oil contains a balance of natural fats, including monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. These are naturally occurring in peanuts and remain intact due to the unrefined extraction process.

It also contains naturally present plant compounds like phytosterols and resveratrol, along with traces of vitamin E, which is valued for its antioxidant properties.
