Groundnut Oil: Made from groundnuts or peanuts the oil contains mono-unsaturated fatty acids, which are used to lower the amount of bad cholesterol in the body. This is a very versatile oil and can be used in all forms of cooking – from grilling to seasoning.

Groundnut oil is generally available in two forms – refined and filtered. For a more nutritious option, you should select the filtered oil. However, if not filtered properly, the oil can contain toxic compounds. So go for branded oil.
