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.

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.

FINISHING OIL

Drizzle a small amount over Shirataki Noodles or grilled meats right before serving for aroma.
