Not to be sniffed at! - Especially as, unlike olive oil, groundnut oil is strong and does not "disappear" into food when you fry at high temperatures, charring or even burning your vegetables. Don't get me wrong, good quality olive oil is particularly lovely when drizzled over salad or into a sauce when it has finished cooking, so t...more

Premium Review Sainsbury's Groundnut Oil: THE oil to cook with! (285 words)
by - written on 04/07/09 (Very useful, 107 readings)
Rating:

Groundnut oil is one of those lesser known basics for cooking which is really worth knowing about. For one, you might be surprised to learn that it has quite similar properties to that of olive oil. To demonstrate, reading the label of my extra virgin olive oil I can see it is made up of 13.1% saturates, 7.5% polyunsaturates, and a whopping 66.7% of those ultra-healthy mono-unsaturates - very good for the heart. In comparison, groundnut oil has virtually the same percentage of saturates (the worst nasties) at 15%; while it is quite a bit higher in polyunsaturates at 30%, it has a pretty good majority of mono-unsaturates at 55%.

Around the area in which I live, it is almost impossible to buy groundnut oil anywhere except for at Sainsbury's. Sainsbury's Groundnut Oil is very reasonably priced, and has a very delicate, subtle flavour. It is perfect for frying, roasting and for salad dressings too. Unless a recipe specifically calls for a different type of oil (such as olive oil), I now use Sainsbury's Groundnut Oil for everything, and a little goes a long way. It helps keep cholesterol levels low, but I would hand out a warning to anybody who has a nut allergy - this oil wouldn't be suitable for nut allergy sufferers. I'd like to share with you a very simple ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Sainsbury's Groundnut Oil: Groundnut oil - great in oriental cooking (345 words)
by - written on 26/05/08 (Very useful, 122 readings)
Rating:

Groundnut oil is a great oil to use as it is very pure and odour free. It is made from peanuts or monkey nuts, and so people who suffer from a nut allergy should certainly avoid it. It is great as a substitute for olive oil particularly in oriental cooking as olive oil clashes with the flavours and is too strong in comparison to groundnut oil. The high smoking point means it can be heated to a very high temperature making it ideal for stir frying; but it is also great for deep and shallow frying and as it is similar but not quite as heavy as olive oil, it is great for salads and mayonnaise. I use groundnut oil regularly in cooking because aside from the ...  Read the complete review
