Energise your body and prevent cancer with peanut oil
Peanut oil revs up your metabolism while deeply satisfying your taste buds. Did you know that peanut oil will make the crispiest fried food while it protects your heart, lowers bad cholesterol, and prevents cancer in every bite?1
Kaizer peanut oil stands apart with bolder flavour
Supermarket peanut oils damage your health because they are bleached and deodorised. Such chemical processing not only destroys what is nutritious about peanut oil, the chemicals remain in the oil and slowly eat away at your family’s health.
Kaizer peanut oil is produced by cold-pressing the red skin along with the rest of the nut. This gives Kaizer Red Peanut Oil a distinctly robust flavour and more nutrients. The striking dark colour of Kaizer peanut oil stands apart from every other peanut oil available in the supermarket.
Peanut oil benefits for blood pressure and the heart
Cooking with peanut oil is known to lower blood pressure.2 Here is how it works: as we age, arteries can get stiff and inflexible, which forces the heart to pump harder.3 Consequently, when blood pressure rises, heart muscles get strained and eventually damaged. Vitamin E in peanut oil helps to widen blood vessels and make them more flexible so your heart works more efficiently.4
Lower bad cholesterol with good fats in peanut oil
Would you have guessed that the rich and delicious peanut oil also lowers your bad cholesterol (LDL)? It does so without lowering your good cholesterol (HDL).5 So go ahead and enjoy peanut oil. In moderation, it is very good for you.
Phytosterols in peanut oil help to prevent and fight cancer
The high phytosterol content of peanut oil can inhibit the growth of certain types of cancers,6 such as:
-
- Breast and ovarian
- Prostate
- Lung
- Liver
- Stomach
The anti-cancer activity of phytosterols7 (a family of healthful compounds found in plants) include:
-
- Inhibiting carcinogen production
- Reducing cancer cell growth and spread
- Killing cancer cells8,9
Protect your family by including cancer tackling phytosterols in your diet.

Topical anti-inflammatory
Peanut oil has analgesic properties that reduce skin irritations, rashes, sunburns, and minor topical wounds.11 Get relief from the itching and swelling associated with these skin conditions.
Moisture lock mechanism
The high amount of squalene in peanut oil locks in moisture and protects the skin against free-radical damage. Try peanut oil after bathing on scaly skin or for a deep skin treatment. Mix peanut oil with water to create a moisturising emulsion. Apply to skin and leave overnight for a penetrating treatment, which will rehydrate the skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and creases.

FAQ — Peanut Oil Benefits and Uses
1. What makes Kaizer Peanut Oil different from regular peanut oil?
It is cold-pressed with the red skin intact, giving it a richer flavour, deeper colour, and higher nutrient content. Supermarket peanut oils are usually refined, bleached, and deodorised, which removes nutrition and may leave chemical residues.
2. How does peanut oil support heart and blood pressure health?
Vitamin E in peanut oil helps widen and relax blood vessels, improving flexibility and reducing strain on the heart. This supports healthier blood pressure as we age.
3. Does peanut oil help improve cholesterol levels?
Yes. Peanut oil can lower LDL (“bad” cholesterol) without reducing HDL (“good” cholesterol), making it a heart-friendly cooking oil.
4. Can peanut oil help prevent cancer?
Its phytosterols can inhibit carcinogen formation, reduce cancer cell growth, and support the body in targeting harmful cells. Research links these benefits to several cancers including breast, prostate, lung, and stomach.
5. How does peanut oil benefit the skin?
It acts as a natural anti-inflammatory and moisturiser. It may help conditions like eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis, and minor skin irritations. Squalene in the oil locks in moisture and supports healthier, smoother skin.
6. Is peanut oil good for hair and scalp?
Yes. Its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties help soothe flaky scalp conditions, while its natural fats nourish and strengthen hair.
7. What makes peanut oil ideal for frying?
Its high smoke point (about 230°C) and stable structure allow it to stay crisp and clean at high temperatures, making it a chef’s preferred oil for deep frying and high-heat cooking.
