What it is

Peanut oil is extracted from roasted peanuts. It is a common cooking oil with a mild, nutty flavor. The cooking process can alter its flavor and stability.

Why it's used

Peanut oil is used as a cooking oil for frying, sautéing, and roasting due to its relatively high smoke point and flavor. It is often found in snack foods, popcorn, and Asian cuisine.

Health notes

Peanut oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which are considered healthier fats. The WHO/IARC has not classified peanut oil. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption.

Allergen info

Peanut oil is derived from peanuts, which are one of the 9 major allergens recognized by the FDA. Highly refined peanut oil may have the allergenic proteins removed, but this is not always guaranteed.
