Pure Shenga Yenne (Groundnut Oil) – Wooden Pressed Excellence

Our edible groundnut oil, locally known as Shenga Yenne, is the result of a deep-rooted tradition of quality, purity, and respect for nature. Using time-honored wooden Ghana/Gana pressing techniques, this oil is extracted slowly at low temperatures, ensuring every drop retains its natural nutrients, aroma, and golden color.

What is Shenga Yenne?

In Karnataka, India, the term Shenga Yenne refers to groundnut (peanut) oil. This oil has been a staple in South Indian kitchens for centuries, prized for its high nutritional value, distinct nutty flavor, and versatility in cooking. Our Shenga Yenne is cold-pressed using traditional wooden mills, a method also known as Ghana, Gana, Mara Chekku, or Kachi Ghani.

The Wooden Ghana (Gana) Extraction Process

The wooden Ghana extraction method is a slow, gentle process where wooden pestles crush handpicked peanuts at a speed of only 10–12 RPM. This technique:

• Prevents heat build-up, preserving nutrients and vitamins.
• Maintains the natural golden color and nutty aroma.
• Keeps the oil unrefined, unbleached, and free from chemicals.

Why Choose Cold-Pressed Shenga Yenne?

Unlike refined oils that undergo bleaching, deodorizing, and chemical treatment, cold-pressed Shenga Yenne is produced without artificial heat or solvents. The result is an oil that is:

• Rich in Vitamin E – an antioxidant that supports skin, hair, and immunity.
• High in Monounsaturated Fats – promotes heart health and balanced cholesterol.
• Contains Phytosterols – naturally reduce the risk of heart disease.
• Free from Trans Fats – safe for long-term cooking use.
