Groundnut oil, also known as peanut oil or arachis oil, is a vegetable oil derived from the seeds of the peanut plant. It is a clear, light-colored oil with a mild to nutty flavor, depending on the extraction method and roasting of the peanuts. Groundnut oil is commonly used for cooking, particularly frying, due to its high smoke point.
