Why Cold-Pressed Groundnut Oil is Best for Indian Cooking

Why Cold-Pressed Groundnut Oil is the Gold Standard for Indian Kitchens

In the heart of every Indian kitchen, there’s one ingredient that holds centuries of wisdom and wellness—cooking oil. And as health meets tradition, cold-pressed groundnut oil has emerged as a front-runner. But why is this ancient oil suddenly making waves again?

Because real kitchens are choosing real oils.
And Tejoy Groundnut Oil leads that change—with purity you can trust and benefits your body will thank you for.

What is Cold-Pressed Groundnut Oil?

Cold-pressed means no heat, no chemicals, no shortcuts.
Instead of refining at high temperatures, the oil is extracted by pressing groundnuts slowly, naturally. This gentle process preserves nutrients, antioxidants, and the natural flavor—exactly the way nature intended.

Think of it as hand-squeezing juice instead of using a blender.
Cold-pressed oil keeps the essence alive.

Why It’s a Gold Standard in Indian Kitchens

🌿 1. Nutrient-Rich and Heart-Healthy

Tejoy’s cold-pressed process retains Vitamin E, monounsaturated fats, and polyphenols. These are known to:

• Reduce bad cholesterol (LDL)

• Boost heart health

• Act as antioxidants to fight free radicals

💚 For families who want both taste and health, this is a win-win.

🥘 2. Perfect for Indian Cooking

Indian food is full of high-heat cooking: tadka, frying, roasting. Tejoy Groundnut Oil has a high smoke point, which means:

• It doesn’t break down easily at high temperatures

• No toxic fumes or trans fats are released

• The oil remains stable, preserving both taste and health

Whether it’s a Gujarati thepla, South Indian dosa, or North Indian sabzi—Tejoy delivers that nutty aroma without harming your health.

🍳 3. Natural Taste Enhancer

Unlike refined oils that feel tasteless or synthetic, cold-pressed groundnut oil:

• Adds a mild nutty flavor

• Brings out the authentic taste of masalas and dals

• Leaves no unpleasant aftertaste

Your grandmother’s secret ingredient? Most likely… it was pure groundnut oil.

🚫 4. Zero Chemicals. Zero Additives.

Refined oils go through bleaching, deodorizing, and chemical treatments. In contrast:

• Tejoy cold-pressed oil is 100% chemical-free

• It is directly bottled from the press, with natural filtration

• You consume oil that’s close to its original form

No foam. No white layers. No unnecessary polishing—just oil the way your body accepts it.

👨‍🌾 5. Sourced from Gujarat’s Heartland

Tejoy isn’t just a product. It’s a promise from Gujarat’s soil.

Our groundnuts are grown organically in Jamnagar, a region known for its fertile soil and pure water table. Each nut is handpicked, sun-dried, and cold-pressed under hygienic conditions.

When we say “From Soil to Soul,” we mean it.

🛒 How to Choose the Right Cold-Pressed Groundnut Oil?

If you're switching to cold-pressed oil, here are 3 things to look for:

1. Color – Should be golden yellow to light brown, not too transparent.

2. Smell – Should have a mild natural peanut aroma.

3. Foam Test – Real cold-pressed oil doesn’t foam when heated.
