What it is
Vegetable oil made from peanuts. Peanuts are legumes grown in warm climates. The oil is extracted by pressing the peanuts or by using solvents, then it is often refined to remove impurities and flavor.
Why it's used
Peanut oil is used as a cooking oil for frying and sautéing due to its high smoke point. It's also used in salad dressings, sauces, and marinades for its distinct flavor. Manufacturers use it to add richness and a nutty taste to snacks and baked goods.
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. JECFA has evaluated peanut oil and established an acceptable daily intake. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical dietary intake.
Allergen info
Peanut oil is derived from peanuts, which are one of the 9 FDA major allergens. People with peanut allergies should avoid it.
