How to Extract Peanut Oil at Home | 100% pure Groundnut Oil
Making of peanut oil can be tedious but I will show you a lazy and easy way to make it at home. I will also show you 2 ways to extract 100% pure peanut oil from the comfort of your home. Peanut oil is healthy and very flavorful. It adds a very palatable flavor to any meal.
Directions
- Roast peanuts/groundnuts and peel off the skin once they cool down.
- Blend the peanuts/groundnuts into a very smooth and runny paste (butter).
- Pour the peanut butter into a container and store it in a cool or warm place for as long as possible. After a while,the oil will begin to form at the top. The longer you store it, the more oil will be extracted.
- After a few months, pour the 100% pure peanut oil into a bottle and it is ready for use.
- To further extract peanut oil for the left over peanut paste, transfer the paste into a mixing bowl, add a little warm to hot water at a time and knead the paste. Do this repeatedly until there is a visible change in the appearance of the paste. Depending on how much oil the paste has, the paste would begin to look very glossy and wet or oil will begin to sip out of it.
- Place the paste in a chiffon cloth and squeeze the paste until the peanut oil is extracted. Set the oil aside and let it settle. Decant and add the oil bottle.
