Crude Peanut Oil

Crude Peanut Oil is an unrefined golden-yellow oil extracted from peanuts through mechanical pressing or solvent extraction, retaining its natural nutty flavor and beneficial nutrients like vitamin E and phytosterols. Containing impurities such as free fatty acids (1-3%), phospholipids, and proteins, it requires refining for most food applications but serves as the primary feedstock for producing refined peanut oil. While occasionally used in traditional cooking for its robust taste, its main applications include animal feed and industrial uses when unrefined, offering a nutrient-rich base for further processing.
