Groundnut Oil: The Heart-Friendly Fat You Need in Your Kitchen | Kedia Pavitra

Groundnut Oil — The Heart-Friendly Fat You Need in Your Kitchen

In every Indian kitchen, the choice of oil is more than culinary — it’s emotional. It shapes how food tastes, how our families feel, and even how our hearts beat. Amid modern confusion about fats and diets, one traditional oil quietly holds its ground — Groundnut Oil, the nutty, golden liquid long celebrated for its warmth, taste, and heart-friendly balance.

For generations, grandmothers trusted groundnut oil for phulkas, sabzis, and frying. Today, nutritionists echo their wisdom with data — groundnut oil, when cold-pressed and pure, is one of India’s healthiest fats. Let’s rediscover why this humble oil deserves to return to every mindful kitchen.

A Legacy Rooted in the Soil

Groundnuts (peanuts) are India’s pride crop — grown abundantly across Gujarat, Rajasthan, and Tamil Nadu. Each tiny pod hides oil-rich kernels that nature designed with balance: 50% good fats, 25% protein, and abundant Vitamin E.

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization, India ranks among the top producers of groundnuts globally. For centuries, Indian households have extracted their oil through wooden ghanis — slow and cool, yielding thick, aromatic oil that carried both nutrition and nostalgia.

The Science of Heart Health

Modern research confirms what tradition intuited. Groundnut oil is rich in Monounsaturated Fats (MUFA) — the same “good fats” found in olive oil. Studies show that MUFA helps reduce LDL (“bad”) cholesterol while maintaining HDL (“good”) cholesterol, thus lowering cardiovascular risk.

The National Institute of Nutrition dietary guidelines also list groundnut oil among the most balanced Indian oils for everyday cooking, thanks to its near-ideal ratio of MUFA, PUFA, and saturated fats.

In simple terms: it’s the oil that loves your heart back

• Vitamin E: Nature’s Antioxidant Shield

Cold-pressed groundnut oil is naturally high in Vitamin E (tocopherols), which helps protect cells from oxidative stress and supports skin, hair, and immune health. One tablespoon delivers nearly 2 mg of Vitamin E, as listed in numerous studies.

Refined oils lose much of this delicate vitamin during high-heat processing. Cold-pressed Kedia Pavitra Groundnut Oil, on the other hand, retains its golden glow and gentle nutty aroma — signs that its nutrients remain alive.

• Balanced Smoke Point, Everyday Versatility

With a smoke point around 230°C, groundnut oil is stable for deep frying, sautéing, or tempering without breaking down into harmful compounds. Unlike low-heat oils, it withstands Indian cooking’s tadka heat gracefully while retaining flavour.

From crunchy pakoras to soft dosas, groundnut oil delivers crisp texture without heaviness — the mark of pure, well-balanced fat.

The Kedia Pavitra Promise of Purity

Kedia Pavitra’s cold-pressed extraction honours traditional “Kachi Ghani” techniques — no solvents, no bleaching, no deodorizing. Seeds are sourced directly from Indian farmers, sun-dried, and gently pressed at low temperature to preserve aroma and nutrition.

Each batch undergoes moisture, peroxide, and purity testing in FSSAI-certified labs. The oil is then filtered through natural cotton cloth, ensuring zero residue and 100% authenticity.

As per FSSAI’s “Eat Right India” program, unrefined oils like groundnut and mustard retain higher levels of bioactive compounds and good fats compared to refined blends.
