Sesame Oil
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.

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.
