[faq]What is cold pressed groundnut oil and how is it different from refined groundnut oil? | Cold pressed groundnut oil is extracted by mechanically pressing groundnuts at low temperatures (below 40–50°C) without using any chemical solvents, heat, or refining agents. This preserves the oil's natural flavour, aroma, colour, and nutritional content including natural Vitamin E, antioxidants, and healthy fatty acids. Refined groundnut oil, on the other hand, is extracted using chemical solvents (hexane), then refined, bleached, and deodorised at high temperatures — a process that strips away most natural nutrients and introduces chemical residues. NatureLink's cold pressed groundnut oil is 100% naturally extracted with no chemicals at any stage.[/faq]

[faq]Is this groundnut oil suitable for high-temperature cooking and deep frying? | Yes. Cold pressed groundnut oil has a naturally higher smoke point compared to many other cold pressed oils, making it well-suited for Indian cooking including deep frying, tadka, sautéing, and stir-frying. The natural antioxidants present in cold pressed oil also provide some additional heat stability. We recommend medium-high heat for optimal results. Avoid overheating any oil beyond its smoke point.[/faq]
[faq]How can I verify the purity of the groundnut oil I receive? | Every NatureLink product comes with a QR code on the packaging. Scanning this QR code takes you directly to the batch-specific lab report for the exact batch of groundnut oil you purchased. The lab report includes tests for adulteration, free fatty acid (FFA) value, peroxide value, moisture content, and other quality parameters. This batch-wise traceability is unique to NatureLink and ensures you can verify quality yourself rather than relying solely on brand claims.[/faq]
[faq]Does the oil have a strong peanut smell? Will it overpower the dish? | NatureLink cold pressed groundnut oil has a naturally warm, pleasant, and mild peanut aroma — far more subtle than crude or unfiltered commercial groundnut oil. It enhances the dish with a gentle nutty undertone without being overpowering. For delicate dishes where no oil flavour is desired, we recommend our cold pressed sunflower oil or soybean oil, which have a more neutral flavour profile.[/faq]
[faq]What is the shelf life and how should I store the groundnut oil? | NatureLink cold pressed groundnut oil has a shelf life of 9–12 months from the date of pressing. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. After opening, keep the cap tightly closed and use within 3–4 months for best quality. Cold pressed oils are naturally more stable than refined oils due to retained natural antioxidants, but exposure to heat, light, and air will degrade quality over time. Refrigeration extends shelf life but may cause natural cloudiness — this is normal and does not indicate quality issues.[/faq]
[faq]Is this groundnut oil safe for people with peanut allergies? | No. This oil is pressed from whole groundnuts (peanuts) and may contain trace peanut proteins that can trigger allergic reactions in individuals with peanut allergies. We have clearly mentioned this in our allergen information on the label. If you or any family member has a documented peanut allergy, please consult your allergist before use. NatureLink's cold pressed oils are unrefined and therefore more likely to retain trace proteins than highly refined groundnut oil.[/faq]
[faq]Does NatureLink source groundnuts directly from farmers? | Yes. NatureLink sources A1 grade groundnuts directly from trusted farmers and farmer producer organisations (FPOs), primarily from groundnut-growing regions of India. This direct sourcing eliminates middlemen, ensures fair farm-gate pricing for farmers, and guarantees that only the highest-quality produce enters our manufacturing facility. Our farm-direct sourcing is a core part of our farmer empowerment mission and is documented in our traceability system.[/faq]
[faq]What size options are available for the groundnut oil? | NatureLink cold pressed groundnut oil is available in 500 ml, 1 litre, 2 litre, and 5 litre options. For a family of 4 using this as a primary cooking oil, the 2 litre or 5 litre options provide the best value. The 500 ml option is ideal for first-time buyers who wish to experience the quality before committing to a larger quantity.[/faq]
[faq]Is the packaging food-safe? What material is used? | Yes. NatureLink uses food-grade PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) bottles that are BPA-free and safe for edible oils. The bottles are sealed with tamper-proof caps to ensure product integrity from our facility to your kitchen. Our contactless packaging process minimises human handling for hygiene. For very large quantities (5 litre), we use food-grade HDPE containers which are suitable for long-term oil storage.[/faq]
[faq]Can I use this oil for baby massage or on children's skin? | Cold pressed groundnut oil has traditionally been used for infant massage in many Indian communities. However, given the risk of peanut allergy — which can be triggered even by skin contact in sensitised individuals — we strongly recommend consulting your paediatrician before applying this oil on babies or young children. NatureLink's cold pressed almond oil or sesame oil may be more suitable alternatives for infant skin care, as these have a lower allergen profile and a long history of safe use on infant skin.[/faq]
[faq]How is NatureLink's manufacturing facility certified? | NatureLink operates a GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) certified manufacturing facility with international quality certifications. Our facility maintains strict hygiene protocols including contactless packaging, regular equipment sanitisation, and batch-wise testing before dispatch. Each batch is tested in certified laboratories before it is released for sale. The lab reports are available to customers via QR code scan on every product.[/faq]
[faq]Why doesn't NatureLink offer discounts on its products? | NatureLink's no-discount policy is a deliberate quality commitment. We source A1 grade produce directly from farmers at fair prices, process in our own GMP facility (not outsourced), conduct batch-wise lab testing, and use premium food-grade packaging. These standards have a real cost. When brands offer heavy discounts, quality is inevitably compromised somewhere in the chain — cheaper raw materials, outsourced manufacturing, or reduced testing. Our pricing reflects genuine quality. When you buy NatureLink, you pay exactly what it costs to make a genuinely pure product.[/faq]
