If there’s one oil that quietly stays in most kitchens but never gets enough attention – it’s Groundnut Oil.
Also known as peanut oil, it has been part of Indian cooking for generations.
Your grandma might’ve used it to fry pooris. Your mom may have added it in everyday curries.
But somewhere between branded refined oils and fancy olive oil bottles — we forgot what pure groundnut oil truly offers.
Now, with people returning to basics and eating clean, wood-pressed groundnut oil is making a powerful comeback.
What Exactly is Wood-Pressed Groundnut Oil?
It’s groundnut oil that’s extracted using the traditional kohlu method — where peanuts are slowly crushed in a wooden churner (without heat or chemicals).
This slow extraction retains the oil’s natural flavor, aroma, nutrients, and colour.
No foam. No smell. No greasy layer on top of your food.
Just clean, healthy, and real oil that feels light on the stomach and heavy on nutrition.
Why Groundnut Oil Deserves a Place in Your Kitchen
1. Heart Loves It
Groundnut oil is rich in monounsaturated fats — the “good fats” that help manage cholesterol.
It may support heart health and keep your arteries happy, especially when used regularly in cooking.
2. Full of Natural Antioxidants
Cold or wood-pressed groundnut oil contains Vitamin E — great for skin, immune system, and protecting your cells from stress and ageing.
3. Great for High-Heat Cooking
Unlike refined oils that break down quickly at high temperatures, groundnut oil stays stable.
So whether you're deep frying pakoras or sautéing veggies, this oil won’t lose its goodness.
4. Tastes Earthy & Natural
Groundnut oil has a mild, nutty flavor that brings a rich desi taste to food.
No artificial aroma or synthetic feel — just the real, raw essence of peanuts.
5. Light on the Stomach
It’s not heavy or greasy like many other oils.
Even after frying, food feels light, digestible, and clean — especially when it’s wood-pressed.
The Big Difference: Refined vs. Wood-Pressed
Refined oil goes through heat, bleach, and chemicals. What’s left? Almost zero nutrition.
Wood-pressed oil is slow extracted, unrefined, and chemical-free.
That’s the difference between “filling the stomach” and “nourishing the body.”
