Cold Pressed Groundnut Oil (Unrefined)
Cold pressed groundnut oil, also known as Marachekku Ennai, chekku groundnut oil, goober, pinder, groundnut, earthnut, and ground pea, is a naturally sweet and flavorful edible oil. Unlike refined groundnut oil, which has a light yellow color and neutral taste, cold pressed groundnut oil retains its deep yellow color, nutty aroma, and rich taste. Extracted by pressing groundnut kernels, this oil is high in energy, has a high burning and smoking point, and contains monounsaturated fats, Vitamins A, D, and E. In addition to oil extraction, groundnuts are consumed raw, roasted, and used in cooking and baking.
