What it is

Roasted peanut oil is a cooking oil made from roasted peanuts. Roasting the peanuts before pressing them for oil brings out a richer, nuttier flavor compared to unroasted peanut oil.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use roasted peanut oil for its distinct flavor and aroma. It is often found in snack foods, baked goods, and sauces where a nutty taste is desired.

Health notes

Roasted 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 healthy fats. JECFA has evaluated peanut oil and established an acceptable daily intake. No significant health concerns are associated with its consumption at typical dietary levels.

Allergen info

Peanut oil is derived from peanuts, which are one of the FDA's major allergens. While highly refined peanut oil may have most allergenic proteins removed, individuals with peanut allergies should exercise caution.
