Peanut oil is extracted from roasted peanuts. It is a common cooking oil known for its distinct nutty flavor and high smoke point, making it suitable for frying and sautéing. The oil is typically refined to remove impurities and allergens.

Peanut oil is used as a cooking oil in various cuisines, particularly Asian dishes. It adds a rich flavor to foods and is often found in salad dressings, marinades, and baked goods. Its high smoke point also makes it a popular choice for deep-frying.

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. JECFA has evaluated peanut oil and established an acceptable daily intake. While generally safe, individuals with peanut allergies should avoid it.
