Description: Also known as peanut oil, the cold pressed Groundnut Oil is light yellow in colour and sweet in nature. It has a relatively high smoking point when compared to other oils.
It is rich in omega6 fatty acids. It also helps in lowering bad cholesterol.
It is absolutely cholesterol free which is the prime reason that heart patients are most welcome to use it, as it prevents atherosclerosis.
It prevents degenerative nerve disorder, as this contains resveratrol, which is a plant compound that acts as an antioxidant.
It is used in moisturizing dry and itchy skin. It helps to moisturise the dry scalp too. But, its high-fat content in it might induce pimples, when applied to the face.
It helps in fighting free radicals and therefore helps in boosting the health of the heart.
Vitamin E available in it helps in preventing wrinkling and premature aging of the skin. It not only regenerates damaged hair but also moisturizes the split ends. The antioxidants in it help in treating dandruff and healing scalp psoriasis.
Since it has a combination of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, using groundnut oil induces the secretion of insulin, which is highly useful for diabetes patients.
As believed by the ancient people, this oil is used as a joint pain reliever when applied and given a slight massage.
