This page already reads well and avoids the duplicate-content problem seen elsewhere on the site. The additions below are targeted, not a rewrite of what already works.

Composition (add this section)

Cold pressed groundnut oil is naturally rich in oleic acid — typically around 48% of its total fatty acid content, alongside linoleic acid and natural vitamin E (tocopherols). This composition is retained because the oil is unrefined; refining strips out some of these naturally occurring compounds along with flavour and aroma.

Smoke Point (correct existing claim)

Unrefined, cold-pressed groundnut oil has a smoke point of approximately 160°C — suitable for most stovetop Indian cooking including tadka, sautéing, and moderate-heat frying. This is lower than refined groundnut oil (~230°C), which is chemically processed specifically to withstand higher heat. We’d rather state this accurately than oversell high-heat performance.
