Peanut Oil Or A Blend Of Peanut Oil And Canola

Peanut oil is a vegetable oil extracted from roasted peanuts. It has a mild, nutty flavor and a relatively high smoke point, making it suitable for various cooking methods. It can be used on its own or blended with other oils like canola.

Peanut oil is often used as a cooking oil for frying, sautéing, and baking due to its flavor and heat stability. Manufacturers also use it in snack foods like chips and pretzels to add flavor and richness, and as a carrier for flavorings.

Peanut oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. Organizations like JECFA have evaluated peanut oil, and it is widely consumed. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption.
