Peanut Oil

Morning, Chicas!

Where does peanut oil fall in the "oil" spectrum. Healthy? Unhealthy?

Hi Sparrow!

I believe it falls in the healthy end of the spectrum. Peanuts are healthy and it's oil is monounsaturated, as are canola and olive olis. It's good for frying because it can tolerate high heat without burning. I used to use it when I made homemade french fries for my nephews and niece. I don't fry foods anymore and mainly use canola or olive oil in cooking.
