Wood Pressed Groundnut Oil - 500 Ml

FarmLokal’s Wood Pressed Groundnut Oil is a return to the "Lakdi Ghani" tradition—the most honest way to extract oil from seeds. We use premium, sun-dried groundnuts and slowly crush them in a traditional wooden mortar and pestle at very low speeds. This ensures that the temperature never rises above 40 degrees Celsius, preserving the fragile Vitamin E, Omega-6 fatty acids, and Antioxidants that are destroyed in modern refined oils. Refined oils use high heat and chemical solvents like Hexane; our oil is purely physical, filtered only through a cloth to remove seed sediment. Groundnut oil is scientifically recognized for its high content of Monounsaturated Fatty Acids (MUFA) and Resveratrol, a powerful antioxidant also found in red wine that supports heart health. It has a high smoke point, making it the perfect choice for traditional Indian deep-frying and sautéing without turning rancid or producing toxic fumes. The wood-pressing method retains the natural nutty aroma and pale-yellow color of the groundnut, adding a layer of sophisticated flavor to your meals. In Ayurveda, groundnut oil is seen as warming and strengthening. Our oil is 100% pure, free from any Argemone oil, palm oil, or synthetic preservatives. By switching to wood-pressed oil, you are protecting your family from the inflammatory effects of industrial fats and supporting a "rooted" food system that honors the integrity of the seed. It is a "Clean Label" cooking medium that provides the healthy fats required for brain development and cellular repair. This is honest, farm-fresh oil, crafted with the patience and purity of the traditional Ghani.
