Cold Wood Pressed Ground Nut Oil

Cold Wood Pressed Ground Nut Oil — Marachekku Kadalai Ennai. 100% pure, unrefined and chemical free. Sun-dried groundnuts from Tamil Nadu farms, slow-pressed in a wooden chekku at low temperature. It keeps the sweet, nutty smell of real peanuts — the smell most cooking oil has had stripped out of it. The everyday South Indian kitchen oil: high enough smoke point for deep frying, mild enough for a simple poriyal. WHY WOOD PRESSED A wooden chekku turns slowly. It does not heat the seed, so the oil keeps the vitamins, antioxidants and aroma that high-speed expellers and refineries burn off. Nothing is bleached out and nothing is added back. HOW TO USE • Deep frying, shallow frying and tempering — it holds heat well. • Sambar, rasam, poriyal and kuzhambu, the way it has always been done. • Snacks and sweets — murukku, bonda, adhirasam. • Can be reused once for frying; strain it while warm. GOOD TO KNOW • Natural sediment at the bottom of the bottle is normal — it is the seed, not an impurity. Shake before use. • Unrefined oil can thicken or set in cold weather. Stand the bottle in warm water to bring it back. • Priced at ₹350 per litre. 1 litre = 910 grams. • Pressed in small batches and packed fresh to order.
