Description:

• Pure unrefined oil
• Natural and chemical-free
• Many health benefits
• Bio Basics’ Cold-press Groundnut Oil comes from organically grown groundnuts.
• It is a popular cooking oil in Tamil Nadu. Its rich taste is suitable for all kinds of Indian cooking and for making southeast Asian dishes.
• You can use our groundnut oil to make curries, stir fries and deep fried snacks like samosas, pakodas, and vadas.
• Since our cold-pressed oil is thick and packed with flavour, you only need to use half of the usual oil consumption.
• Bio Basics sources cold-pressed groundnut oil from small mills in Sathyamangalam and Coimbatore.
• The organically-grown groundnuts are sourced locally and milled in small rotary mills which has a speed of 15 rpm.
• The oil is extracted at a temperature of 30 degrees centigrade.
• The heat is controlled so that the oil does not lose its properties.
• Once the oil is extracted, it is filtered through a very tight sieve or a gada cloth and kept in the solar dryer or sun for further natural sedimentation to happen.
• Once the sediments settle at the bottom, the oil is poured out.
• Since the oil does not go through any mechanical or chemical filtration, it is thick.
• It is natural to find a bit of sediment in the oil which proves its purity and richness.
  
• The consistency of the oil varies from time to time because the nature of the groundnut changes from season to season.
• Unlike commercial oils that go through a unifying process, where the oil is refined, bleached and deodorised to give it a glass-like appearance, cold-pressed oil does not go through a filtration process except a normal gada cloth or a very fine sieve.
• It is then left for a while for natural sedimentation to happen.
• The oil is therefore thick and turgid compared to refined oil.
• High content of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants
• Controls Cholesterol
• Boosts immunity
• Controls rise in blood sugar levels
• Controls blood pressure
