Why Cold-Pressed Groundnut Oil Is the Smart Choice for Indian Cooking

When you enter a true Indian kitchen, you can tell the oil even before you see it. The aroma lingers in the air — earthy, nutty, unmistakably familiar. That’s cold-pressed groundnut oil, one of India’s oldest cooking companions and arguably, its smartest.

As modern diets turn towards imported olive or avocado oils, the humble groundnut oil quietly remains unmatched for Indian-style cooking — nutritionally, culturally, and scientifically.

Let’s explore why.

1. Designed by Nature, Perfected by Tradition

India has used groundnut oil for centuries, long before “cold-pressed” became a wellness trend. Traditional Kachi Ghani extraction ensures seeds are crushed slowly at low temperatures, keeping nutrients intact.

Unlike refined oils that use chemical solvents or high heat, cold-pressed groundnut oil maintains its natural fatty acid profile, Vitamin E, and antioxidants — everything nature intended to nourish, not just flavour.

The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) notes that cold-pressed oils preserve higher amounts of polyphenols and bioactive compounds essential for human health.

2. The Ideal Indian Cooking Oil

Indian cooking involves high heat — from tadka to deep-frying. Cold-pressed groundnut oil’s smoke point makes it perfectly suited for these methods. It heats evenly, releases no acrid smell, and doesn’t break down into trans fats — ensuring both taste and safety.

Its mild nutty flavour enhances poha, dal tadka, sabzi, and even sweets like besan laddu without overpowering the dish.

3. Rich in Heart-Healthy Fats

Groundnut oil’s greatest strength lies in its Monounsaturated (MUFA) and Polyunsaturated Fats (PUFA). These fats maintain arterial flexibility and support good cholesterol (HDL) while reducing LDL.

A study in the Journal of Food Science and Technology found that groundnut oil consumption in moderate amounts helps regulate lipid profiles and prevent cardiovascular disease risk factors.

Kedia Pavitra Groundnut Oil, with its unrefined integrity, keeps these good fats intact — offering the same wellness your grandparents trusted, now backed by lab-tested purity.

4. Naturally Rich in Antioxidants

Cold-pressed groundnut oil contains Vitamin E and phytosterols — compounds that guard cells against oxidative stress and ageing. These also contribute to better skin and immune health.

The USDA FoodData Central confirms that unrefined groundnut oil contains higher Vitamin E levels than refined versions.

So when you see that slight golden tint in Kedia Pavitra oil, remember — that’s colour from antioxidants, not chemicals.

5. Sustainable and Local

Imported oils may look exotic, but groundnut oil is India’s homegrown wellness gift. It’s naturally pest-resistant, requires minimal processing, and supports small farmers in semi-arid regions.

By choosing Kedia Pavitra Cold-Pressed Groundnut Oil, you support a circular ecosystem — pure product, local economy, and reduced carbon footprint.

6. Zero Refining, Maximum Integrity

Kedia Pavitra’s oil is pressed from sun-dried nuts sourced from trusted farmers. The seeds are cleaned, sorted, and cold-pressed — ensuring no oxidation or nutrient loss. It’s then naturally filtered, not bleached.

No solvents, no blending, no additives — just honest, golden oil that smells like Indian soil and tastes like purity.

Each batch is lab-verified for FFA (free fatty acids), moisture, and peroxide values, ensuring international-grade quality.

7. Versatile in Every Kitchen

From deep-fried pakoras to healthy stir-fries, from festive sweets to salad dressings — cold-pressed groundnut oil adapts effortlessly. Its balanced flavour works across cuisines — a rare combination of nutrition and taste harmony.

8. Why It’s the Smart Choice

If you care about what goes into your body, the smart choice isn’t the newest or fanciest — it’s the purest. Cold-pressed groundnut oil gives you the heart-friendly fats of olive oil, the heat stability Indian cooking demands, and the sustainability that global health now celebrates.
