Woodpressed Groundnut Oil

Product Details

Made from 100% premium quality groundnut seeds.

The Groundnut Oil is extracted from premium quality groundnuts which are harvested manually and once dried properly, they undergo the deshelling process. Oil is extracted using a wooden mortar and pestle machine applying wooden pressure. The temperature is kept below 50 degrees C and RPM less than 10 to avoid any heat generation. Whatever minimal heat is generated, is absorbed by the wooden pestle and not transferred to the oil. This helps the oil to retain its natural flavor, aroma, and nutritional profile. The oil is allowed to stand for two days to let the sediments settle down.

The obtained oil is thick, opaque, aromatic, and as natural as it can be. It is free from any chemical or heat treatment or any preservatives, unlike refined oils.

Health Benefits

1. Promotes Heart Health

Groundnut oil is rich in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which are essential for heart health. These healthy fats help lower levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol while raising HDL (good) cholesterol. This balance helps prevent the buildup of arterial plaque and reduces the risk of heart disease, promoting overall cardiovascular well-being.

2. Provides Anti-Inflammatory Benefits

The compounds in groundnut oil possess anti-inflammatory properties that can help mitigate inflammation throughout the body. Regular use may assist in reducing chronic inflammation, which is linked to various health issues, including joint pain and skin conditions.

3. Improves Insulin Sensitivity

Emerging research suggests that groundnut oil may improve insulin sensitivity, which is crucial for maintaining healthy blood sugar levels. Enhanced insulin sensitivity can help lower the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by improving the body's ability to manage glucose more effectively.

4. Supports Brain Function

Groundnut oil is a valuable source of Vitamin E, a potent antioxidant that helps protect brain cells from oxidative stress caused by free radicals. This protective effect can support cognitive function and may reduce the risk of neurodegenerative diseases.

5. Enhances Skin Health

Rich in Vitamin E and fatty acids, groundnut oil nourishes and moisturizes the skin. It helps to reduce inflammation, promote healing, and shield the skin from damage caused by UV rays, leading to healthier, more resilient skin.

6. Boosts Immune System

Groundnut oil contains resveratrol, a compound known for its antimicrobial and antiviral properties. This can help strengthen the immune system by defending against infections and supporting the body’s natural defenses.

7. Improves Digestion

The healthy fats in groundnut oil can facilitate better digestion and promote regular bowel movements. By incorporating groundnut oil into your diet, you can support digestive health and enhance overall gastrointestinal function.
