Peanut oil, also known as groundnut oil, is a versatile vegetable oil extracted from peanuts. It boasts a mild, slightly nutty flavor and a smooth texture, making it a popular choice for various culinary applications. Refined peanut oil is typically light yellow in color, while unrefined varieties may have a deeper hue and more pronounced peanut taste. Its high smoke point makes it ideal for high-heat cooking methods, ensuring delicious and safely cooked meals every time.

Peanut oil should be stored in a cool, dark place to prevent it from going rancid. An unopened bottle can be kept at room temperature for up to two years. Once opened, it's best to store it in the refrigerator to extend its shelf life and maintain its quality. Check for any changes in smell or appearance before using; discard if it smells off or looks cloudy.
