    Origin

    Groundnut oil is derived from the edible seeds of the peanut plant, which is a member of the bean, pea, or legume family. 

     Peanut oil can have some health benefits, but it also has some potential disadvantages: 

     

    Heart health

    Peanut oil is high in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which are considered "good" fats. These fats can help lower LDL cholesterol, which can clog arteries and lead to heart disease. 

     

    Vitamin E

    Peanut oil is a good source of vitamin E, an antioxidant that can help protect the body from free radicals, which can damage cells and cause some cancers and heart disease. 

     

    Blood sugar

    Some studies have linked unsaturated fats to improved blood sugar levels in people with diabetes. 

     

    Hair growth

    The vitamin E in peanut oil can strengthen hair follicles, reduce damage, and prevent dandruff. 

     

    Omega-6 fatty acids

    Peanut oil is high in omega-6 fatty acids, which are important for health but are also plentiful in the standard American diet. Consuming too much omega-6 and not enough omega-3 fatty acids may increase the risk of obesity.
