The history of peanut oil isn’t that old. In 1802 french first experimented with peanut oil and by the 1830s it was used in making soaps. During the mid-1900s it became a popular choice as food oil across the world.

Since ancient times groundnut has been used in a variety of dishes and stayed very popular in western and central parts of India. Around the 1930s, it was found that along with the use of groundnut as food grains, oil extracted from it can be used as a food oil. Many researchers during the 1950s prove that groundnut oil helps in maintaining heart health and hence its usage slowly increased.
