Wood-pressed groundnut oil, also known as wood-pressed peanut oil, is more than just a cooking medium it’s a return to purity. Extracted using traditional methods, it retains nutrients, aroma, and health benefits that modern refined oils often strip away. In a world of mass production, this oil stands out for its simplicity and strength.
What Is Wood-Pressed Groundnut Oil?
Wood-pressed oil is made by slowly crushing groundnuts (peanuts) in a wooden ghani or kolhu at low temperatures. This wood-pressed method preserves the natural oils, antioxidants, and vitamin E, which are often lost during high-heat processing in refined oils. The result is a golden, aromatic oil rich in health-promoting properties and full-bodied flavor.
Why Choose Wood-Pressed Over Refined Oil?
Unlike refined oils, which undergo bleaching, deodorizing, and chemical extraction, wood-pressed groundnut oil is completely natural. It contains no preservatives, no synthetic colors, and no additives. What you get is 100% pure unrefined cooking oil that supports your well-being and brings out authentic taste in your meals.
