Groundnut Oil – Also Known As Peanut Oil, Kadalekai Enne, Shenga Enne & More

Groundnut oil, commonly known as Peanut Oil, is a staple in Indian households and cherished for its rich, nutty aroma and multiple health benefits. Locally, it is called Kadalekai Enne in Kannada, Shenga Enne in Telugu, Kadalai Ennai in Tamil, Verusenaga Nune in Telugu, and Moongfali Tel in Hindi and other Indian languages.

What is Groundnut Oil?

Groundnut oil is extracted from the seeds of the peanut plant (Arachis hypogaea) through traditional cold pressing methods such as wooden churner pressing (Mara Chekku or Kachi Ghani). This method preserves the natural nutrients, aroma, and flavor of the oil without the use of harmful chemicals or heat treatments.

Traditional Extraction Process

Our cold-pressed groundnut oil is made by pressing freshly harvested, handpicked peanuts in wooden churners. This time-honored technique ensures minimal heat and maximum preservation of essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamins like Vitamin E.

• Selection of fresh, organic peanuts from trusted farms
• Cleaning and sun-drying the peanuts
• Cold pressing in a wooden churner to extract pure oil
• Natural filtration without chemical refining or bleaching
• Packaging in food-grade bottles preserving freshness
