What is Arachis Oil?
Arachis oil is a type of vegetable oil extracted from peanuts. It is widely used in cooking, especially in frying and sautéing, because of its high smoke point and neutral taste. The oil is rich in monounsaturated fats, which are considered heart-healthy, but it also contains polyunsaturated and saturated fats. Due to its origin, arachis oil is unsuitable for individuals with peanut allergies.
