What it is
Organic peanut oil is a vegetable oil extracted from roasted peanuts grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. It is processed using methods that adhere to organic standards, often involving pressing the peanuts to release their oil, followed by filtering.
Why it's used
Peanut oil is used as a cooking oil for frying, sautéing, and roasting due to its high smoke point and mild flavor. Manufacturers also use it in salad dressings, sauces, and baked goods to add richness and a subtle peanut taste.
Health notes
In the US, peanut oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is primarily composed of unsaturated fats, which are considered heart-healthy when consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated peanut oil, and it is also approved for use in the European Union. While peanut oil is a source of allergens for some individuals, the refining process typically removes allergenic proteins, making it safe for most people.
Allergen info
Peanut oil is derived from peanuts, which are one of the 9 FDA major allergens. However, highly refined peanut oil is often considered non-allergenic because the refining process removes the proteins responsible for allergic reactions.
