Did you know that peanut oil is the most consumed cooking oil in India? Well, according to Stastista, India consumed up to 1.195MT of peanut oil in 2022. Why is it so popular among the Indian population?

1. Many Indians have grown up using peanut oil, and that makes it very normal to use it in their households.
2. Peanut oil is arguably the best cooking oil (sautéing, frying, baking), taking into account its high smoke point, and pleasant aroma. In fact, it is better, by far, when compared to other virgin oils such as Macadamia, olive oil, coconut oil, or sesame oil.
3. Most Indian foods taste better with peanut oil. Think of Chapati, Biryanis, Masala chips, bhajia, roti among others. You can always have a taste of these foods during Indian festivals such as Diwali.

But is it just for Indians? Can other people use it?

Of course! YES. Your taste buds will thank you. Think about all the foods you can deep fry this festive season – Chicken, chips, mandazi, fish, mahamri… [I am already salivating]. Close your eyes. Now imagine deep frying them in oil that fries fast, doesn’t easily turn black , and oil that doesn’t smell after use. Each time you imagine, think of how much you save by reusing the same oil while still having amazing dishes. Think of yourself turning and toasting soft layered chapatis.

Wake up! Wake up! The oil is here. 1L peanut oil is only ksh. 1,150.00, the cheapest of all virgin oils. And you can find it at a supermarket near you. Order via WhatsApp by clicking this link.
