Here’s a guide to choosing the BEST groundnut oil.

Here’s what we set out to find- 

Our parameters and why exactly we chose this set are explained in this section for our Natureland Organics Groundnut oil review. 

1. Nutritional Quotient

Following are the sub-parameters- 

a. Organic Certifications – Does the brand mention its certifications? How many does it have and which certifications are these?

b. Ingredient List – In addition to groundnuts, what else does the brand add to their organic oil?

c. Extraction Method – Have the peanuts been mechanically pressed, cold-pressed, or wood-pressed for the extraction of oil? 

Does the brand shed light on this? How clear and informative is the label?

2. Aroma

Fresh and nutty or industrial? Or even worse, rancid? 

3. Flavor

If peanuts are roasted, the flavors are comparatively intense as compared to raw peanuts. What did our review conclude? Fats tend to lend a lot of flavor in the dish you add them to. When heated for cooking, does the peanut oil leave a strong flavor or do the dishes taste neutral. 

4. Appearance

a. Consistency – Does this oil feel dense and thick, or is it lighter and flowy?

b. Clarity – Did we observe some floating bits or residue? Or was the oil clear and free of particles?

5. Other Parameters

a. Price – A 1-L bottle is priced at Rs 375/-. Priced competitively? 

b. Packaging – This oil comes in a sturdy plastic bottle. This packaging is BRC certified. 

c. Shelf Life – Natureland Organics Groundnut oil has a shelf life of nine months.

Our Findings and Experience

First things first, Natureland Organics Groundnut oil is certified organic by SGS Organic, USDA Organic, Jaivik Bharat, and India Organic. The only ingredient that goes in the making is organic groundnut seeds that are cold-pressed to extract the oil. The oil does not have any impurities or any foggy or cloudy appearance. It looks clear. 

The aroma is intense but inviting. The taste is fresh, nutty, and has a natural sweetness. Unless you’re consuming this raw (for chutneys etc), the flavor of peanuts cannot be detected in any cooked dish.

This organic groundnut oil feels quite light on the palate and stomach.
