Cold Pressed Groundnut oil is manufactured by the Old traditional method by using wooden chekku. These Oils contain all the original nutrition and flavor. Extraction by industrial methods, involves various processes like bleaching, steaming, distillation and hydrogenation - the seeds are exposed to extremely high temperatures to get clear bland oil and chemicals like phosphoric acid, calcium hypo chlorite are added to increase the shelf life of the product which in turn affects not only the flavor and aroma but also strips the oil of all its nutritive values. Cold pressed oils typically have a shelf-life of six months if kept in proper storage conditions. Because of a very high smoke point, groundnut oil can be used for deep frying and high-temperature cooking. Cold Pressed Groundnut Oil adds a very unique flavour to any food.
