The MUFA Powerhouse — Peanut Oil and Your Heart Health

There’s a quiet revolution happening in Indian kitchens — a return to oils that care not just for taste but for the heart. Among them, one golden bottle stands out for its rich aroma and silent strength: Peanut Oil, India’s own MUFA powerhouse.

For centuries, we’ve known groundnut oil as moongfali tel — a kitchen staple that made our rotis glisten and our curries hum with warmth. But what most of us didn’t realize is that this humble oil hides a nutritional profile to rival olive oil. Let’s uncover why.

MUFA — Your Heart’s Best Friend

MUFA, or Monounsaturated Fatty Acids, are the “good fats” that keep your arteries flexible and your cholesterol balanced. They help lower LDL (bad cholesterol) while supporting HDL (good cholesterol) — exactly what your heart wants.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO) and ICMR-NIN Dietary Guidelines, oils rich in MUFA should contribute 15–20 percent of daily calories for optimal cardiovascular health. Cold-pressed peanut oil naturally contains about 50 percent MUFA, making it one of India’s richest native sources of heart-protective fat.

How MUFA Works Inside You

MUFA helps:

· Reduce oxidized LDL buildup in arteries

· Improve blood circulation and blood pressure response

· Maintain healthy insulin levels

· Support the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K)

Studies reported that switching from saturated fat to MUFA sources significantly lowers heart-disease risk.

Every drizzle of Kedia Pavitra Groundnut Oil is a step toward that balance — flavourful and functional.

Beyond Fats — Vitamin E and Plant Sterols

Peanut oil is also a Vitamin E treasure. This antioxidant shields cells from free radicals, slows ageing, and protects arterial walls from inflammation.

Additionally, phytosterols present in cold-pressed groundnut oil compete with cholesterol for absorption, further aiding heart health.

Refined vs Cold-Pressed: A Matter of Integrity

Refining removes odour and colour — and with them, vital nutrients. Cold-pressed oils retain the natural fatty acid structure and antioxidants that support the heart.

Kedia Pavitra’s cold-pressing at low temperature preserves the “living oil.” Each batch is filtered naturally, lab-tested for FFA and moisture, and packed without additives to keep every MUFA molecule intact.

The Perfect Oil for Indian Cooking

Indian meals need an oil that can handle heat without breaking down. Peanut oil’s smoke point and stable structure make it ideal for tadkas, frying, and slow simmering.

Unlike refined blends that turn trans fatty at high heat, cold-pressed peanut oil remains steady — the true test of quality.

Heart Health in Everyday Practice

1. Use Kedia Pavitra Groundnut Oil for daily cooking — its neutral flavour pairs with all Indian dishes.

2. Replace half your refined oil intake with cold-pressed varieties for visible cholesterol improvement in a few months. Rotate with mustard or sesame for fatty-acid diversity — the Ayurvedic approach to balance.

The Kedia Pavitra Promise

From farm to bottle, the brand follows a simple mantra — no refining, no compromise, no middlemen. Every nut is sourced from trusted farmers, sun-dried, and pressed fresh.

Each batch undergoes FSSAI-certified testing for purity and oxidative stability. So when you pour that golden stream into your pan, you’re not just adding oil — you’re adding care.

Final Drizzle

Your heart doesn’t need expensive supplements or imported miracles. It needs honest, native fats that protect it naturally. Kedia Pavitra Cold-Pressed Groundnut Oil is one such ally — a MUFA-rich gift from Indian soil to your plate.

Because health is not in trend; it’s in tradition.
