Nope, sir. There is something called groundnut oil derived from groundnut seeds.

Yes, most people refer to them all by one generic name groundnut oil/vegetable oil.

Dear Family,

I have been having this back and forth debate with my wife regarding cooking soup with groundnut oil as against red oil but she is on the negative. I had cooked Egusi soup with groundnut oil and it taste really nice. I had also done same with okra sea food and its really nice. The reason why I want to do away with red oil is because I have been advised on my cholesterol level and the odour from palm (red) oil doesn't sit well with me these days.

I want to serve my visitors Egusi soup prepared with groundnut oil but she's declined because she's not sure how it will be received....lol

Does anyone have experiences with cooking soups with only groundnut oil and how does it taste. okra, bitterleaf, oha, vegetable, edikaikong, egusi, etc

Ulunne777:
And who advised you that the seed oil also known as vegetable/groundnut oil is healthier for you?
Palm oil is way better .
If you intend to go the healthier route,use the fat from your meat or the oil in Egusi itself.

Again Palm oil is better and healthier than "g.oil*. ITS IN QUOTES because THERE'S NOTHING GROUNDNUTY ABOUT THAT SCAM PROCESSED OIL SOLD IN NIGERIA.Don't be deceived.

Western media deceiving you ppl the same way they deceive you ppl that cow milk is better for your baby than breast milk.

Why will u want to cook food with oil processed from red oil??

SIRTee15:


Except u using olive oil or rapeseed oil to cook, I don't really see your objection to palm oil because all vegetable oils apart from above are not healthy for the body.

SIRTee15:


mono- unsaturated fats are the ones recommended for cooking. Saturated fats are best avoided or consumed less.
Olive and rapeseed oil are unsaturated fats.

The scope of why unsaturated fats are healthy is beyond the scope of discussion here. But I can send u links if u are interested in learning more.

JuanDeDios:

Someone is giving you BAD advice. For health-conscious people, there are only three oils for cooking:
1. Coconut oil
2. Olive oil
3. Palm oil

Vegetable oils (the one you're calling "groundnut oil" ) go through production processes that make them very very unhealthy. Everything they've told you about cholesterol is wrong. I can't go into it in detail now, but read up.

You can eat butter and ghee too, but RUN from margarine!

Its rather oil processed from palm kernel not red oil

I am interested in educating you because you do not know what you are talking about

You are shifting the goal posts

Let us finish with one assertion before moving to the next

So are you saying that

ALL vegetables oils apart from Rapeseed oil and Olive do not contain unsaturated oils?


Secondly recommended BY WHOM?

There is so much you need to learn about the Geopolitics of dietary oil.
There are huge commercial interests and pressure groups that control so call recommendations and research
It is not enough to parrot saturated or unsaturated if you have not spend days studying the matter

However with respect your assertion about Vegetable oils is nonsense


The reality is that all commercially available oils contain a mixture of saturated and unsaturated oils BUT that is NOT THE ONLY consideration in what is healthy or not e,g processing, genetic modification, Vitamin content, Herbicide content etc

There are many other considerations beyond saturation of Fatty acids

AND VEGETABLE sources of oil are the healthiest oils know especially when consumed without processing for example from NUTS

SIRTee15:


I dont have time for conspiracy nuts like yourself.
Arguing with u is wate of time
Here's a local research on vegetable oil, Mr white man source is evil.

I can't believe an educated mind is still pushing for palm oil as source of good nutrition in 2024.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palm_oil. Read nutrition and health section.

aribisala0:
No need to be abusive can you call your mother a nut?

If not do not use such language with me because of palm oil


You claimed ALL vegetable oils except rapeseed oil and Olive oil are not healthy

That is nonsense

Do not go about catting and pasting stuff you scarcely understand

This old man with grey hair would not respect himself.
If u becoming senile why don't u just shut up rather than constituting nuisance here.

Banga soup doesn't require any form of oil because there is oil naturally in the Banga

In regards cholesterol .. studies says palm oil is safer..

There was so much lies about Cholesterol which has been exposed even in America but Nigerians are still believing the old lies, just like Dr Fauci saying wearing cloth mask protects you from covid in 2021

descarado:

You did your research very well only that canola oil is the super refined rapeseed oil.

So canola oil= rapeseed oil.

Free2Fly:


You can use any of the vegetable oils(groundnut oil, olive oil, etc) in place of palm oil for any food you want to prepare.

In fact, that's what's is being used abroad. No one uses palm oil, except Nigerians who traveled with it because of their traditional link with it.

Palm oil is has a high content of palmitic acid(saturated fat) and is less healthy compared to groundnut and olive oils(which have high concentrations of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats).

As you are concerned about your cholesterol levels, you need to avoid it as much as you can.
Don't listen to these unenlightened Nigerians who prefer to use olive oil for miracles instead of cooking for which it's primarily meant for.
