There’s a quiet brilliance hidden inside every drop of Cold-Pressed Groundnut Oil — something more than golden colour or nutty aroma.
It’s the invisible protection of two powerful antioxidants that nature tucked inside every peanut kernel: Vitamin E and Resveratrol.
For centuries, Indian kitchens used groundnut oil instinctively for nourishment. Now, modern science is decoding why it worked so well — revealing how these natural compounds keep our cells youthful, our hearts resilient, and our skin glowing from within.
Peanuts draw their strength from the red, mineral-rich soils of India’s heartland. As the plants grow underground, they develop defence molecules to guard against oxidation and microbial stress. When those kernels are pressed gently — not refined or overheated — those same protective compounds flow into the oil.
That’s why cold-pressed oil isn’t just “less processed” — it’s more alive. It carries the original plant’s defence system into your body.
Vitamin E is a family of compounds called tocopherols, natural fat-soluble antioxidants that protect lipids in our cells from oxidative damage.
According to data presented by food authorities, a tablespoon of unrefined groundnut oil provides about 2 mg of Vitamin E. In everyday terms, Vitamin E:
A review in the Journal of Food Science and Technology notes that cold-pressed oils are naturally rich in tocopherols lower oxidative stress and inflammation when consumed regularly.
Unlike refined oils — where high-heat bleaching destroys up to 70 per cent of Vitamin E — gentle < 60 °C pressing keeps this nutrient intact. That’s why the oil feels more fragrant, fuller-bodied, and subtly sweet — Vitamin E has a natural nutty aroma of its own.
Most people associate Resveratrol with red grapes and wine, but peanuts contain it too — sometimes in even higher concentrations. It’s a polyphenolic antioxidant that protects plants from stress and, in humans, supports heart and brain health.
Research shows that resveratrol helps activate the body’s longevity enzyme SIRT-1, improving mitochondrial efficiency and reducing inflammation.
In simpler words, resveratrol:
When groundnuts are cold-pressed, traces of this compound migrate into the oil, giving it subtle stability and deep golden hue.
Together, Vitamin E and Resveratrol act like twin guardians of the cardiovascular system.
1. Vitamin E blocks free-radical damage to LDL cholesterol, preventing arterial blockage.
2. Resveratrol reduces platelet stickiness and improves blood flow.
The Indian Heart Journal found that regular consumption of cold-pressed oils containing natural antioxidants improved HDL levels and lowered inflammatory markers compared to refined counterparts.
Add to that groundnut oil’s 50 % MUFA content, and you have a complete heart-protective matrix — the fat, the antioxidant, and the balance, all in one spoon.
Oxidative stress doesn’t just affect the heart — it accelerates skin ageing too. The tocopherols in groundnut oil nourish from the inside, promoting elasticity, while resveratrol stimulates collagen and protects from UV-induced damage.
That’s why traditional Indian beauty rituals often included groundnut oil massages — intuitively combining topical and dietary antioxidants long before dermatology coined the term “inside-out glow.”
Heat, light, and chemicals destroy antioxidants faster than anything else. Refined oils, though clear and odourless, are stripped of these natural protectors.
cold-pressing process preserves them through:
Lab reports ensure Vitamin E ≥ 2 mg/10 g and Peroxide Value < 5 meq/kg, verifying freshness and antioxidant retention per FSSAI standards.
Morning Tadka Boost: Use 1 tsp of Groundnut Oil for breakfast dishes — antioxidants survive light sauté temperatures.
Raw Finish: Drizzle over boiled vegetables or salads to retain maximum Vitamin E and Resveratrol activity.
Weekend Fry: High smoke point (~230 °C) means you can deep-fry occasionally without losing benefits.
DIY Skincare: Blend 1 tsp oil with rose water for a night serum — Ayurvedic and antioxidant in equal measure.
Every batch of Kedia Pavitra Groundnut Oil begins with sun-dried, ethically sourced nuts from local farms. Seeds are hand-cleaned, slow-pressed in small batches, and tested in ISO-certified labs for antioxidant retention. No solvents. No refining. No compromise.
Because what good are antioxidants if we refine the life out of them?
Modern research suggests oxidative stress contributes to nearly 70 percent of lifestyle diseases — from heart ailments to diabetes. Choosing antioxidant-rich foods like cold-pressed oils, fruits, and legumes forms the foundation of preventive nutrition.
By returning to India’s native oil wisdom — mustard, sesame, groundnut — we return to balance. Each carries its own antioxidants; each complements the other seasonally.
Kedia Pavitra’s philosophy is built on that very principle: preserve what nature perfected; never polish it away.
Vitamin E and Resveratrol may be invisible, but their impact is radiant — in your energy, your skin, your heart, your longevity. They are the soul inside every drop of pure oil.
When you choose Kedia Pavitra Cold-Pressed Groundnut Oil, you don’t just add flavour to food — you add resilience to life.
Because real antioxidants don’t come from capsules. They come from the soil, pressed with care, and sealed in purity.
That’s the Pavitra Promise — wellness you can taste, science you can trust.
