Wooden Cold-Pressed Groundnut Oil (Lakkadi Ghani / Mara Chekku)

Our Groundnut Oil is a premium cooking oil extracted using traditional methods. Unlike modern refined oils that use high heat and chemicals, this oil is extracted by crushing sun-dried groundnuts in a wooden mortar and pestle, ensuring the oil’s Prana (life force) remains intact.

How It’s Made: The Traditional Process

Slow Extraction: A wooden rod rotates at a very low speed (14 RPM) to crush the seeds without generating heat.
Heat-Free (<40°C): The wooden press (made from Neem or Babool) absorbs friction heat, keeping the oil at room temperature.
100% Pure: No bleaching agents, preservatives, or toxic solvents like hexane are used. It is only sediment-filtered to maintain its raw integrity.

Health & Wellness Benefits

Heart Health: Rich in MUFA and PUFA (healthy fats) and contains Resveratrol, a polyphenol that protects arteries and helps manage blood pressure.
Diabetes Management: These healthy fats can improve insulin sensitivity and help regulate blood sugar levels.
Immunity Booster: High Vitamin E content protects cells from oxidative stress and strengthens your immune system.
Natural Anti-Inflammatory: Plant sterols help reduce internal inflammation, easing joint pain and chronic risks.

Culinary Advantages

High Smoke Point (220°C): Stable and safe for deep frying and sautéing without breaking down into toxic compounds.
Nutty Flavor: Provides a rich, distinct aroma and slightly sweet taste that enhances traditional Indian dishes.
High Viscosity: Because it is dense and unrefined, you often need 20% to 30% less oil compared to refined alternatives.

The Ayurvedic Perspective (Mungfali Tel)

In Ayurveda, this oil is valued as a therapeutic agent for its warming and grounding properties:

Dosha Balance: Specifically pacifies Vata (Air/Ether) due to its heavy and unctuous nature. Ideal for the Winter and Spring seasons.
Abhyanga (Self-Massage): Traditional choice for deep tissue penetration to nourish muscles and strengthen bones.
Joint Care: Its warming nature relieves stiffness and “Vata-related” pains like arthritis.
Supports Agni: Unlike refined oils, it supports the digestive fire (Agni) when used for tempering (Tadka).

Beauty: Skin & Hair Care

Natural Moisturizer: Fatty acids lock in moisture, treating dry or flaky skin.
Anti-Aging: Antioxidants help fight free radicals that cause fine lines and wrinkles.
Hair Strength: Moisturizes the scalp and strengthens follicles to prevent breakage and reduce dandruff.

Buyer’s Guide & Storage

Appearance: Authentic oil is golden-yellow and slightly cloudy.
Storage: Store in a cool, dark place, preferably in glass or stainless steel, to maintain freshness without chemical preservatives.
