About Oil, peanut, salad or cooking
Peanut oil, also called groundnut oil, is pressed from peanuts and valued above all for its high smoke point, which makes it a favorite for deep-frying — famously for fried chicken and the Thanksgiving turkey. Refined versions are mild, while less-refined ones keep a gentle nutty taste.
It is rich in monounsaturated fat, the same heart-friendly type that dominates olive oil, along with some polyunsaturated fat and vitamin E. As a pure oil it is all fat, around 884 calories per 100 grams. Highly refined peanut oil has the proteins that trigger allergies largely removed, but cold-pressed or gourmet versions may still pose a risk to people with peanut allergy.
Its stability at high heat and clean flavor make peanut oil the go-to for frying when you want crisp results without the oil overpowering the food.
