Also known as groundnut oil, this is obtained from the peanut. In the US, this oil is mostly clear and mild-tasting because of the refining process used. Chinese peanut oil has a more pronounced peanut taste. Peanut oil is high in polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats which makes it ideal for stir-frying or as a dressing base. Use of peanut oil in cooking can cause illness for those allergic to peanuts, so care should be taken.
