Cold Pressed Peanut oil have been a common cooking oil in south India for the past few centuries until it was replaced by refined oils about few decades ago. Refined oils undergo various chemical and mechanical processes which destroys all the nutrients present in the groundnut oil completely before bottling.
Real unrefined cold pressed groundnut/peanut oil is extracted at the mill using the traditional wooden mill (kachi ghani/ mara chekku) method where the oil is extracted without heating or any chemical processes. Groundnut oil that is extracted using traditional cold pressed methods is highly nutritious and healthy with all the health benefits intact.
Here are some of the benefits of consuming unrefined cold pressed Groundnut Oils :
- Because of a very high smoke point, groundnut oil can be used for deep frying and high temperature cooking
