Benefits of Peanut Oil
Peanut oil is one of the best oils to fry because it comes with exciting health benefits.
It contains Vitamin E and polyunsaturated fats (the good kind of fats) that promote heart health. Those unsaturated fats also can help improve blood sugar levels among diabetics.
However, if you have a nut or peanut allergy, you should replace peanut oil in the following recipe with a different polyunsaturated oil such as sunflower oil.
