Groundnut oil, also known as peanut oil, is a light-colored, mild-flavored vegetable oil extracted from premium-grade groundnuts (peanuts). Rich in monounsaturated fats and naturally free of cholesterol and trans fats, it is a heart-healthy cooking oil widely used for frying, sautéing, and baking.
Renowned for its high smoke point and neutral taste, groundnut oil preserves the natural flavor of foods and is ideal for both everyday cooking and deep-frying. It also contains vitamin E and antioxidants that contribute to skin and overall health.
Sesame oil is a flavorful vegetable oil extracted from sesame seeds (Sesamum indicum). It comes in two main types:
•Cold-pressed or unrefined sesame oil (light in color, mild flavor) – commonly used for cooking and salad dressings.
•Toasted sesame oil (dark in color, strong nutty aroma) – used more as a flavor enhancer in Asian cuisines.
Known for its distinctive taste, high antioxidant content, and wide culinary and medicinal uses, sesame oil is a staple in Indian, Middle Eastern, Korean, Chinese, and Japanese cooking.
