Making Process
Extraction Process of Advait Living's Groundnut Oil
The extraction and making process of our cold pressed groundnut oil involves several meticulous steps to ensure the highest quality and purity. Here's a detailed overview:
1. Locally Grown:
All our groundnuts come from our in-house farm or partner farms that practice natural agriculture without use of pesticides. We monitor all our partner farms to ensure overall quality and purity of the final product.
2. Seed Selection
Groudnut is threshed manually and harvested to get high quality seeds that are graded based on their ripeness and oil content to ensure they contribute to the rich flavour and nutritional content of the oil.
3. Cleaning and Sorting
After harvesting, the seeds undergo a thorough cleaning process to remove any impurities, dirt, or debris.
4. Cold Pressing Process
The hallmark of Advait Living's groundnut oil lies in the cold pressing method. Seeds are manually pressed in a cold press machine at very low rpm to obtain the oil. No toxic heat or chemical solvents are added and no external heat is applied. No chemical processing of any kind is deployed at any stage. This ensures the natural flavour and nutritional properties of the mustard oil remains intact.
5. Naturally Sedimented
Following the cold pressing, the raw and unrefined groundnut oil is allowed to sediment for a couple of days. This step allows any impurities or particles to settle at the bottom.
6. Cold-filtration
After the sedimentation period, the oil undergoes a careful filtration process using a cheesecloth. This step removes any remaining particles or sediment, leaving behind a clear and pure groudnut oil.
7. Packaging
The final product, now a fresh and aromatic virgin groundnut oil, is elegantly packaged in glass bottles. The choice of glass ensures that the oil remains uncontaminated by external factors and retains its pristine quality until it reaches the consumer.

2. Blood Sugar Control:
Consumption of monounsaturated fats may improve insulin sensitivity and help regulate blood sugar levels, which is beneficial for individuals with diabetes or those at risk of developing it.
3. Weight Management:
Incorporating moderate amounts of groundnut oil into a balanced diet may aid in weight management due to its ability to increase satiety and promote feelings of fullness.

Which is better - first pressed or cold pressed groundnut oil?
'First pressed' and 'Cold pressed', both indicate a certain quality of any cooking oil.
'First-pressed' refers to the first batch of extracted oil, that typically offers a higher quality and purity. Any oil that is labelled 'first pressed' would indicate that the oilseeds were pressed only once and the extracted oil was bottled right after for consumption. Commercially oilseed are typically pressed multiple times to extract much larger quantities of oil and hence the oil quality may degrade with each repeat pressing of seed.
'Cold pressed', on the other hand refers to the actual extraction process of an oil. In this extraction method, oil is extracted without using heat-solvents or external heat, and such an would retain maximum nutrients and natural properties.
Which Oil is Better?
Cold pressed oils that are 'first pressed' or 'single pressed' are the highest quality of oils.
Some cold pressed oils may be pressed multiple times as well. With each repeat pressing of oilseeds, the quality of oils deteriorates. Check the manufacture's label for 'First Pressed', 'Single Pressed', & 'Cold Pressed' to get the highest quality of oil.
What is the difference between cold pressed and regular groundnut oil?
Cold pressed groundnut oil is generally considered superior in terms of nutritional quality and flavour compared to regular groundnut oil. The primary difference between cold pressed and regular groundnut oil lies in the method of extraction, which impacts the oil's quality, nutritional composition, and flavour.
Cold Pressed Groundnut Oil:
- Cold pressed groundnut oil is extracted from groundnuts (peanuts) without the use of heat.
- The nuts are mechanically pressed at lower temperatures, typically below 120°F (49°C), to extract the oil.
- This gentle extraction method helps preserve the oil's natural flavour and nutritional integrity.
- It helps retain more of the oil's natural nutrients, including essential fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants. As a result, cold pressed groundnut oil tends to have a higher nutritional value compared to refined oils.
- Cold pressed groundnut oil retains the true, nutty flavour and aroma of peanuts, making it a preferred choice for culinary purposes.
Regular (Processed/Refined) Groundnut Oil:
- Regular groundnut oil, also known as refined or processed groundnut oil, is typically extracted using heat and/or chemical solvents such as hexane.
- The use of heat and chemical solvents in the extraction process of regular groundnut oil may result in the loss of certain heat-sensitive nutrients, including vitamins and antioxidants. Consequently, refined groundnut oil may have lower nutritional value compared to cold pressed varieties.
- Refined groundnut oil often has a milder flavour and aroma compared to cold pressed oil.
- The refining process removes impurities and natural flavours, resulting in increased shelf life and more neutral-tasting oil that may be preferred for certain cooking applications where a lighter flavour is desired.
Key Differences:
1. Nutritional Content: Cold pressed groundnut oil retains more nutrients due to the absence of heat and chemical solvents during extraction, making it a healthier choice.
2. Flavor Profile: Cold pressed groundnut oil maintains the natural flavour and aroma of peanuts, while regular groundnut oil may have a milder, more neutral taste.
3. Processing Method: Cold pressed groundnut oil is minimally processed, whereas regular groundnut oil undergoes refining processes that may involve heat and chemical solvents.

What is the shelf life of the groundnut oil?
The shelf life of Advait Living cold pressed groundnut oil is 9 months. To extend the shelf life of groundnut oil and maintain its quality, it's essential to store it properly. Here are some tips to properly store our cold pressed groundnut oil.
Tips to Properly Store Cold Pressed Groundnut Oil:
1. Cool and Dark Location:
Store groundnut oil in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Exposure to light and heat can accelerate oxidation, leading to rancidity and a shorter shelf life.
2. Airtight Container:
Transfer the groundnut oil to an airtight container to protect it from air exposure. Oxygen can also contribute to oxidation, so minimizing air contact helps preserve the oil's freshness.
3. Avoid Moisture:
Keep groundnut oil away from moisture and humidity, as water can promote the growth of mold and bacteria, leading to spoilage.
4. Use Clean Utensils:
Always use clean and dry utensils when handling groundnut oil to prevent contamination.
5. Check for Signs of Spoilage:
Periodically check the oil for any signs of spoilage, such as off odours, unusual colours, or a rancid taste. If the oil appears or smells off, it's best to discard it.
By following these storage tips, you can help extend the shelf life of groundnut oil and ensure its quality for a longer period.
My cold pressed groundnut oil is creating a fizz/foam. Is that normal?
Cold pressed oils may sometimes create foam or fizz while cooking. This is because freshly cold pressed oils may have some moisture present in them. It is by no means rancid or bad. The moisture gets heated and evaporates and you can continue cooking. The quality of oil is not compromised.
What are the benefits of cooking in groundnut oil?
Groundnut oil, also known as peanut oil, has been a staple in many cuisines around the world for centuries. It is extracted from peanuts and is renowned for its distinctive flavour and versatility in cooking. When it comes to the health aspects of groundnut oil, cold pressed version of this oil particularly stands out for its nutritional benefits.
Cold pressed groundnut oil retains more of the nutrients present in peanuts compared to oils extracted through heat or chemical processes. This preservation of nutrients makes it a healthier choice.
1. Monounsaturated Fats
One of the key components of groundnut oil is monounsaturated fats, specifically oleic acid (Omega 9). These healthy fats have been linked to numerous health benefits, including benefits to heart conditions by lowering cholesterol and reducing inflammation.
2. Polyunsaturated Fats
Groundnut oil also contains polyunsaturated fats, primarily linoleic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid may help in the growth and development of the brain. It may also help stimulate skin and hair growth, maintain bone health, regulate metabolism, and maintain the reproductive system.
While omega-6 fatty acids are essential for the body, they should be consumed in moderation as an imbalance between omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids can contribute to inflammation.
3. Vitamins and Antioxidants
Cold-pressed groundnut oil retains significant levels of vitamin E, an antioxidant that helps protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. Antioxidants play a crucial role in reducing the risk of chronic diseases and promoting overall health.
Is cold pressed groundnut oil good for heart?
Yes, cold pressed groundnut oil is good for heart health. It contains predominantly monounsaturated fats, such as oleic acid, which have been shown to have beneficial effects on heart health. These healthy fats can help lower levels of bad cholesterol (LDL cholesterol) while increasing levels of good cholesterol (HDL cholesterol), which in turn reduces the risk of heart disease.
I. Monounsaturated Fats: A Heart-Healthy Component
1. Oleic Acid Content:
Cold pressed groundnut oil is rich in monounsaturated fats, primarily oleic acid. These healthy fats have been extensively studied for their positive effects on heart health.
2. Cholesterol Management:
Oleic acid helps lower levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, commonly referred to as "bad" cholesterol, while simultaneously increasing levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, known as "good" cholesterol. This balance is also crucial for maintaining cardiovascular health and reducing the risk of heart disease.
II. Nutrient Retention in Cold Pressing
Cold pressed groundnut oil is extracted without the use of excessive heat or chemical solvents, allowing it to retain more of its natural nutrients compared to oils processed using conventional methods.
III. Other Heart Health Benefits
1. Reduced Risk of Cardiovascular Disease:
Consuming cold pressed groundnut oil as part of a balanced diet can contribute to a lower risk of cardiovascular disease. Its favourable fatty acid profile and nutrient content support healthy cholesterol levels and overall heart function.
2. Anti-inflammatory Effects:
The preservation of vitamin E and antioxidants in cold pressed groundnut oil provides additional cardiovascular benefits. These compounds help protect against oxidative stress and inflammation, which are underlying factors in the development of heart disease. By reducing inflammation, this oil supports the health and proper functioning of blood vessels and the cardiovascular system.
