Pure, Unrefined, Organic Cold Pressed Groundnut Oil for Cooking

Organic cold pressed oils (such as those offered by Purva Naturals) use no chemicals whatsoever at any stage of their oil making process.

Although the cold-pressing process itself needs no chemical use, if non-organic nuts or oil seeds are used, then synthetic fertilisers and pesticides are of course used extensively in cultivation.

Further there may be use of chemical during drying of the oil seeds to quickly dessicate the seeds. By contrast organic products only depend on natural drying methods like sunlight for drying.

Cold pressed groundnut oil is produced by mechanically extracting oil from dried peanuts at low temperatures (below 50°C), similar to squeezing juice from an orange. This traditional method preserves the oil’s natural nutrients, flavor, and health benefits.

Key differences from regular (refined) peanut oil:

1. Production Method:
– Cold pressed: Uses only mechanical pressure at low temperatures
– Refined: Uses chemical solvents and high heat (over 200°C), plus processes like degumming, bleaching, and deodorization

2. Nutritional Value:
– Cold pressed oil retains more natural nutrients, including vitamin E, antioxidants, and beneficial polyphenols
– Refined oil loses significant nutritional value during processing

3. Flavor Profile:
– Cold pressed has a natural, nutty taste and aroma
– Refined oil has a neutral flavor

4. Oil Yield:
– Cold pressing typically yields 60-70% oil
– Chemical refining yields up to 98% oil, but may have traces of the chemical solvent

Both oils have high smoke points suitable for various cooking methods, including deep-frying. While cold pressed oil offers superior nutritional benefits and no chemical residues, it may contain natural sediments that actually contribute to its longer shelf life.

Cold Pressed Groundnut Oil Nutrition Facts:

Yes, you can deep fry with cold-pressed oil.

Cold pressed groundnut oil is an excellent choice for shallow stir frying and deep frying  alike because it has a high smoke point, comparable to refined oils.

Compared to other cold pressed cooking oils this is relatively neutral with just a mild nutty peanut flavour. Oils of sesame and coconut have stronger natural flavours which are preferred by some people only

The natural antioxidants in cold pressed groundnut oil also help prevent thermal polymerization.

Cold pressed groundnut oil offers several health benefits due to its unique nutritional profile and the way it’s processed. Unlike refined oils that undergo chemical treatments and high temperatures, cold-pressed oil retains more of its natural goodness.

• Heart Health and Cholesterol Management: Cold-pressed groundnut oil is rich in monounsaturated fats, which are known to help lower bad cholesterol (LDL) and increase good cholesterol (HDL). The oil also contains beneficial compounds like resveratrol, which helps in reducing the risk of blood clots.
• Rich Source of Vit E and Antioxidants: This oil is packed with Vit E, which is a powerful antioxidant. It also contains other antioxidants like polyphenols, and has more natural antioxidants compared to refined oils. These antioxidants protect your body’s cells from damage.
• Other Advantages: Overall, you benefit from the retention of essential nutrients that are often lost in refined oils. The presence of natural sediments comprising phospholipids and plant sterols, also enhances oxidative stability, providing a decent shelf life without synthetic preservatives. The high smoke point also makes it suitable for various cooking methods, including deep frying, without compromising its health benefits.

So, cold pressed oils in general, and cold pressed groundnut oil in particular are an excellent healthy replacement for refined oils.

Yes, cold-pressed groundnut oil is very good for your heart. It is rich in monounsaturated fats, which help lower bad cholesterol (LDL) and increase good cholesterol (HDL).

Furthermore, cold-pressed groundnut oil contains resveratrol, an antioxidant that may help lower the risk of blood clots.

Choosing cold-pressed groundnut oil over refined oils can provide significant cardiovascular protection.

Many pesticides have affinity to fat, so non-organic groundnut oil, even if cold pressed, is likely to have higher levels of pesticide residues.

Therefore, using cold pressed peanut oil made using organically grown peanuts that are sun-dried is always more beneficial.
