The Difference Between Cooking Oils

Why Choose Cold-Pressed Sai-Jeevan Groundnut Oil?

When it comes to choosing the right cooking oil for frying, we often find ourselves walking a tightrope between taste and health. Groundnut oil, especially in its cold-pressed form like Sai-Jeevan Cold-Pressed Groundnut Oil, is a truly smart and satisfying choice.

Refined vs. Cold-Pressed Oils: The Processing Matters

Most refined oils are extracted using high heat and chemicals like hexane, which increases shelf life but removes essential nutrients and antioxidants. In contrast, Sai-Jeevan Cold-Pressed Oil is made gently—without heat or chemicals—preserving its natural flavour, vitamins, and good fats.

The Fat Profile: MUFA, PUFA, and Cholesterol

• Refined palm/soybean oils: High in trans fats, poor omega balance
• Butter/ghee: Tasty but high in saturated fat
• Olive oil: Great for salads, but low smoke point

Sai-Jeevan oil is rich in MUFA and PUFA – supporting heart health while making your food delicious and functional.

Smoke Point: Why It’s Crucial for Cooking

• Olive Oil (Extra Virgin): ~190°C – not suitable for frying
• Refined Oils: ~220°C
• Groundnut Oil (Sai-Jeevan): ~232°C – perfect for deep frying

The high smoke point means Sai-Jeevan oil stays stable and safe, ideal for Indian-style frying, stir-frying, and tawa use.

Nutrients & Antioxidants: Cold-Pressed Wins Again

• Vitamin E – Supports immunity, heart & skin
• Plant Sterols – Help manage cholesterol
• Polyphenols – Fight free radicals

With no cholesterol or preservatives, Sai-Jeevan Groundnut Oil nourishes your body while enhancing the taste of your meals.
