What it is

Peanut oil is a vegetable oil extracted from peanut kernels. It is known for its mild flavor and high smoke point, making it suitable for various cooking methods. The oil is produced through pressing or solvent extraction.

Why it's used

Peanut oil is used as a cooking oil for frying, sautéing, and baking due to its flavor and heat stability. It is also used in salad dressings and marinades. Its presence in packaged foods like ice cream can contribute to texture and mouthfeel.

Health notes

Peanut oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for food use. It is a source of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which are considered healthier fats. Regulatory bodies like JECFA have evaluated edible oils, and while specific limits for peanut oil are not typically set, its use is governed by good manufacturing practices. Some individuals may have allergies to peanuts, which is a separate concern from the oil itself, though highly refined oils may have allergenic proteins removed.

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 hypoallergenic as the refining process typically removes allergenic proteins. It does not contain gluten.
