Q. What is the difference between refined and cold-pressed oils?
A. Refined oils are processed at high temperatures using chemicals and solvents, which strip away the oil’s natural flavor, aroma, and nutrients. This process can also produce trans fats that are harmful to your health. Mahokshoil Groundnut Oil is cold-pressed at temperatures below 50°C, preserving its natural taste, aroma, antioxidants, and vitamins. It contains healthy fats that support heart health and overall wellness.
Q. Why is Mahokshoil Groundnut Oil priced higher?
A. Mahokshoil offers premium cold-pressed groundnut oil made using the traditional wooden Kolhu method. Only the best quality groundnuts are crushed and pressed once (“First Pressed”), ensuring maximum freshness and nutrition. Our oil is unrefined, unbleached, and completely natural, retaining its original nutty aroma and health benefits. This traditional, chemical-free process takes more time and effort, but the result is a pure, high-quality oil worth every drop.
Q. Is it suitable for deep frying?
A. Absolutely! Mahokshoil Groundnut Oil has a high smoke point and a pleasant, mild flavor, making it perfect for deep frying. It enhances the crispiness and taste of fried foods without overpowering their natural flavors.
Q. Can it be used for skincare?
A. Yes. Rich in vitamin E and antioxidants, Mahokshoil Groundnut Oil is excellent for nourishing the skin. It can be used for body massages to relieve muscle stiffness and promote relaxation. As with any natural product, we recommend doing a patch test before applying it extensively.
Q. Does it have a strong smell?
A. Mahokshoil Groundnut Oil has a natural, mild, and nutty aroma, just like fresh groundnuts. It is neither overpowering nor artificial—just pure, fresh goodness.
