Wood-Pressed Groundnut Oil

Jambudweep Wood-Pressed Groundnut Oil is a premium cooking oil produced using a traditional, cold-pressing method. This process, often referred to as "wood-pressed" or "kachi ghani," involves crushing groundnuts with a wooden churner at a low temperature, which helps retain the oil's natural nutrients, aroma, and flavor. Unlike refined oils, it's not exposed to high heat, chemicals, or solvents, ensuring a pure and unadulterated product.

Key Features and Benefits

• Nutrient-Rich: The low-temperature extraction preserves beneficial nutrients like monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, vitamin E, and antioxidants, which are often lost in high-heat refining processes.

• Distinct Flavor and Aroma: It has a natural, slightly nutty flavor and a rich aroma, which enhances the taste of Indian dishes, particularly stir-fries, curries, and deep-fried foods.2

• High Smoke Point: With a relatively high smoke point, it is suitable for various cooking methods, including deep-frying and sautéing, without breaking down or producing harmful compounds.3

• Chemical-Free: The wood-pressed method guarantees that the oil is free from harmful chemicals, trans fats, and artificial additives.4

Sourcing and Sustainability

Jambudweep sources high-quality, non-GMO groundnuts from local farmers, ensuring the product is sustainable and supports rural communities. The traditional production method also has a lower carbon footprint compared to industrial refining processes.5

Usage

This oil is a healthier alternative to refined oils and is ideal for daily cooking.6 Its robust flavor profile makes it a popular choice for traditional Indian cuisine. It can also be used for salad dressings and marinades to add a rich, nutty flavor.7
