“Growing Preference for Cold-Pressed and Unrefined Peanut Oil”
- Consumers are increasingly shifting towards cold-pressed and unrefined peanut oil due to its natural extraction process, which retains essential nutrients and flavor without the use of chemicals or high heat
- Health-conscious individuals prefer unrefined variants as they are rich in antioxidants, vitamin E, and phytochemicals, contributing to heart health and better digestion
- This trend is supported by the rising demand for clean-label and minimally processed food products, especially in countries such as the U.S. and India where awareness around healthy cooking oils is expanding
- Small-scale and artisanal brands are capitalizing on this preference by launching premium, cold-pressed peanut oil products in glass bottles with organic certification
- For instance, brands such as 24 Mantra Organic and Natureland Organics in India
- Food enthusiasts and chefs are incorporating cold-pressed peanut oil in salad dressings and stir-fry recipes, favoring its rich, nutty aroma and nutritional value over refined alternatives
