Did you know?
Peanut oil is one of the most commonly used frying oils due to its high smoke point (around 450°F or 232°C).
It’s naturally cholesterol-free and rich in monounsaturated fats, similar to those found in avocados and olive oil.
Refined peanut oil is often safe for people with peanut allergies, as allergens are typically removed during processing.
It contains resveratrol, a compound with potential antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
Drawbacks ⚠️
Like all oils, it is calorie-dense and can contribute to weight gain if overconsumed.
Some peanut oils are highly refined, which may reduce beneficial compounds.
People with severe peanut allergies should consult a doctor before using—even refined versions
