Organic Groundnut Oil

Difference	Earthy Tales	Other Conventional
Slow Wood-Pressing, Real Peanut Character	Kholu/ghani-style wood pressing - slow, gentle extraction that keeps the oil’s natural nutty warmth and “ghar ka” feel.	Often made via high-speed expeller + refining, which can strip aroma and make the oil feel flat.
Organic Groundnuts, Not Commodity Lots	Starts with organic groundnuts - cleaner inputs and better control on what goes into your everyday cooking oil.	Typically commodity-grade peanuts with mixed sourcing and limited traceability.
No Hexane, No Harsh Refining	No chemical solvent extraction, no bleaching/deodorising - just clean, honest oil closer to traditional kitchens.	Many “peanut oils” are refined and chemically processed to look clear and smell neutral.
Lab-Tested Purity = Quiet Confidence	Lab-tested for purity/adulteration checks - because your family deserves proof, not assumptions.	Testing is often not communicated clearly, and purity standards can feel vague.
Everyday Versatility With a Premium Feel	Light, versatile oil that elevates basics - poha, parathas, sabzi, tadka - without heaviness, and with consistent taste.	Mass oils can be inconsistent batch-to-batch, and may prioritise shelf look over real cooking experience.

Most “peanut oils” in the market are refined to look clear and smell neutral. Earthy Tales groundnut oil is wood-pressed (kholu/ghani style) and minimally processed, so it keeps a more authentic taste. It’s also one of those staples many of our repeat customers come back for—because it feels consistent and reliable in daily cooking.

Wood-pressed oil is extracted using a traditional wooden press (kholu/ghani) where peanuts are slowly pressed instead of being heavily processed. The idea is simple: less processing, more natural oil—which is why you often get a mild, pleasant nutty aroma.

No. This oil is not refined and not chemically extracted. We avoid industrial shortcuts like hexane-based extraction and heavy deodorising processes. It’s made to be a clean, everyday kitchen oil—closer to traditional methods.

Yes—we take lab testing seriously. Our oils are checked on quality and safety parameters (including common adulteration checks and residue-related safety checks as per our internal/partner lab process). That’s a big reason why families who’ve been ordering from us for years trust Earthy Tales for daily essentials.

Adulteration is a real concern in edible oils. That’s why we focus on: disciplined sourcing, controlled extraction (wood-press process), and regular lab testing for authenticity and safety indicators. This is how we keep the product consistent enough that customers confidently reorder it.

Good oil isn’t just the seed—it’s the process. Our focus stays on: choosing good quality peanuts, slow kholu/wood-press extraction, minimal handling and careful storage, and testing to maintain consistency. In short: fewer factory tricks, more honest work—something our old customers recognise.

That’s normal for wood-pressed, minimally filtered oils. Natural particles can settle at the bottom, and in winters the oil may look cloudy. Keep it at room temperature and it clears up. Many long-time customers actually see this as a sign the oil hasn’t been overly processed.

For most families, yes—this is a clean, minimally processed everyday cooking oil and can be used normally at home for kids and elders. The key is always quantity and balanced food, not just the oil.Note: If anyone has a peanut allergy, it’s best to avoid groundnut oil unless your doctor has advised otherwise.

Earthy Tales began with a mission to make daily food cleaner and more honest. Founder Deepak Sabharwal (ex-TATA, GE & PepsiCo) left corporate life after a personal health event in the family and committed to building a farmer-first food system. Over time, our focus on transparent sourcing + lab testing is what has built trust—and why many customers have been with us for years.
