With rising awareness about food quality and lifestyle diseases, consumers are slowly moving away from refined edible oils and returning to traditional, natural alternatives. One such oil that has stood the test of time in Indian kitchens is cold pressed peanut oil. Extracted using age-old methods and minimal processing, this oil is not just a cooking medium—it is a healthier lifestyle choice rooted in tradition.
At Soil to Serve, we believe that food should remain as close to nature as possible. Cold pressed peanut oil perfectly reflects this philosophy.
What Is Cold Pressed Peanut Oil?
Cold pressed peanut oil is extracted from high-quality groundnuts using traditional wooden or steel presses at low temperatures (generally below 50°C). Unlike refined oils, no chemicals, solvents, or high heat are used during extraction. This ensures that the oil retains its natural nutrients, aroma, and flavor.
Because the oil is not overheated or chemically treated, its original goodness remains intact—making it a healthier and more authentic choice for everyday cooking.
How Cold Pressed Peanut Oil Is Made
The traditional cold pressing process involves:
- Cleaning and sun-drying peanuts
- Slow crushing using wooden or cold press machines
- Natural filtration without chemical refining
This slow extraction process may yield less oil compared to industrial methods, but the quality is far superior. The oil retains its golden color, nutty aroma, and nutritional richness.
Nutritional Benefits of Cold Pressed Peanut Oil
Cold pressed peanut oil is packed with natural nutrients that refined oils often lose during processing:
✔ Rich in Healthy Fats
It contains a balanced proportion of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which help support heart health when consumed in moderation.
✔ Natural Antioxidants
This oil retains antioxidants like vitamin E, which help combat oxidative stress and support overall well-being.
✔ Free from Harmful Chemicals
No hexane, bleaching agents, or deodorizing chemicals are used—making it safer for long-term consumption.
✔ Better Digestibility
Because it is minimally processed, cold pressed peanut oil is easier to digest and suitable for daily Indian cooking.
Cold Pressed vs Refined Peanut Oil: The Real Difference
| Aspect | Cold Pressed Peanut Oil | Refined Peanut Oil |
|---|---|---|
| Extraction | Low temperature | High heat & chemicals |
| Nutrient retention | High | Low |
| Aroma & taste | Natural, nutty | Neutral |
| Chemical residues | None | Possible |
| Health impact | Safer for daily use | Less beneficial |
The choice is clear when health, taste, and authenticity matter.
