Peanut oil is a plant-derived cooking oil obtained by pressing the seeds of the peanut plant (Arachis hypogaea). It’s also known regionally as groundnut oil or arachis oil and is popular in many global cuisines, particularly Asian, Indian, and African cooking.
Characteristics:
This oil typically has a light colour and mild, slightly nutty flavour, though roasted peanut oil varieties can offer a more pronounced aroma and taste. One of its standout features is a high smoke point, which means it can be heated to high temperatures (around 450°F/232 °C) without breaking down, making it excellent for deep-frying and stir-frying
