This is a natural sign of 100% pure, unrefined, and traditional cloth-filtered oil. When groundnut oil is extracted using traditional methods and filtered gently through a cotton cloth, tiny microscopic particles of the peanut kernel and natural plant waxes pass through. When the oil sits undisturbed for some time, these heavy, nutrient-rich particles naturally settle at the very bottom as a fine white or pale yellow powder. Commercial brands use heavy chemicals and high-heat refining to remove this, which destroys the oil's natural aroma and health benefits. Our oil is completely chemical-free and unrefined, meaning the sediment is proof of its purity and authentic taste. It is completely safe to consume.
