It is often used in Chinese, South Asian and Southeast Asian cuisine, both for general cooking, and in the case of roasted oil, for added flavor. Peanut oil has a high smoke point relative to many other cooking oils, so is commonly used for frying foods.

The oil also contains some stearic acid, arachidic acid, behenic acid, lignoceric acid and other fatty acids.
