Is groundnut oil the same as cold pressed peanut oil?
Yes. Groundnut and peanut are two names for the same legume, so cold pressed peanut oil and groundnut oil are the same product. This one is pressed only once in wood and stone mills, with no chemical solvents, and it stays unrefined.
Is this a good groundnut oil for deep frying?
Yes. Deep frying usually happens between 175°C and 190°C, and this oil's smoke point of 210°C sits above that range. It works just as well for tempering and sautéing.
What makes this unrefined groundnut oil different from refined oil?
Refined oil goes through high heat and chemical treatment, which strips out much of its natural aroma and flavour. This oil is single cold pressed below 50°C with no chemical solvents and no blending, so it keeps its light nutty taste.
Is this pure groundnut oil, or is it blended?
The ingredient list has one item: groundnut oil. Every batch is pressed in-house and lab-tested, so it is never blended from unknown or third-party sources. You can trace your batch at trace.gramiyaa.com using the batch number printed on the back of the pack.
Will the nutty flavour take over my everyday Indian dishes?
No. The nutty note is light, so tempering, sabzis, dosas and fried snacks still taste like themselves.
