Description
Peanut oil, a sweet edible vegetable oil with a strong peanut flavour and aroma, also known as groundnut oil or arachis oil, is derived from peanuts (Arachis hypogea) a low-growing, annual plant that is a member of the family Fabaceae (Leguminosae). It often finds its use in the preparation of Chinese, South Asian and South-east Asian cuisine, both for general cooking and also in the case of roasted oil for added flavour. Peanut oil is commonly used for frying foods due to its high smoke point in comparison to other cooking oils.
