WHY IT'S KETO-FRIENDLY
- Zero net carbs: pure fat that won’t impact ketosis
- Refined peanut oil has a high smoke point (~450°F / 232°C) for frying and searing
- Primarily monounsaturated fat (oleic) with some polyunsaturated (linoleic)
- Neutral-to-nutty flavor works across cuisines without adding carbs
- Versatile: stir-fries, roasting, and (for unrefined) light dressings/finishing
PREPARATION SUGGESTIONS
HIGH-HEAT COOKING
Use refined peanut oil for wok stir-fries and pan-searing; add aromatics like Garlic and finish with Soy Sauce or Tamari.
ASIAN CUISINE
Toss Broccoli or Green Beans with peanut oil, then stir-fry with Chicken Thighs and a splash of Sesame Oil to finish.
DEEP FRYING
Great for crisping keto bites (e.g., almond-flour chicken). Keep oil below smoke point and avoid sugary coatings.
ROASTING
Coat vegetables lightly and roast hot for browned edges and a subtle nutty note.
SALAD DRESSING
For cold-pressed oil: whisk with Apple Cider Vinegar, a touch of Soy Sauce, and Sesame Seeds for a light, nutty vinaigrette.
FINISHING OIL
Drizzle a small amount over Shirataki Noodles or grilled meats right before serving for aroma.
