What it is
Peanut oil is a vegetable oil extracted from roasted peanuts. It is known for its distinct nutty flavor and high smoke point, making it suitable for various cooking methods like frying, sautéing, and roasting. The oil is produced through pressing or solvent extraction of the peanuts.
Why it's used
Peanut oil is used as a cooking oil due to its flavor and heat stability. Manufacturers add it to processed foods like snacks, baked goods, and sauces to impart a peanut flavor or as a frying medium. It's commonly found in popcorn, cookies, and snack bars.
