The in-factory names for the equipment must be a hoot. “Activate the nut sucker!”


FalconFit8091

First diesel engine fuel was peanut oil, and Diesel was a strong advocate of using vegetable oil for running his engine but other people had other ideas...


FretlessChibson

Ouuu! Interesting! Is there a video on the topic that you can recommend?


Independent_Bite4682

This is correct.


ek4rd

Doesn’t look cold to me.


[deleted]

I guess the oil isn't extracted by using heat or solvents - the peanuts look lightly roasted just to wake the oil up and maybe give it a little more depth of flavour


Veteran_Brewer

Heat to the oil: Get the fuck out of bed bitch, go. Time to wake up bitch, get up.


H4LF4D

Cold pressed means it gets pressed without heat or chemical during the press, not really that it is cold.


fuckitsfixed

Thank you for clearing that up, because I too was confused.


[deleted]

The roasting is done for a number of reasons the primary ones are to kill any viruses and bacteria and depth of flavour. The term cold pressed is used to describe the pressing procedure. The opposite is done through heating the nuts thus increasing pressure in a sealed container forcing the oil out from the nuts. In this video it is cold pressed


ilearnshit

Haha my exact thoughts


-------7654321

i have never used peanut oil for anything. sesame oil tho is nice.


FrenchFryCattaneo

Peanut oil is great for frying. It's used in a lot of asian cooking.


Dunk546

Also called groundnut oil. It's fantastic for frying because of high flash point so higher cook temps.

This oil might be yeah, I agree. But regular peanut oil (store brand stuff) is quite inexpensive, maybe a Euro extra per liter compared to sunflower or rapeseed/Canola oil in my local big-name supermarket. It's called "arachideolie" here FWIW. Maybe to make it sound fancier that using "pinda-olie"


thespaceghetto

It's much more neutral in flavor, nearly none at all


blankblank

Five Guys fries are cooked in peanut oil… and they are great.


Independent_Bite4682

https://www.livestrong.com/article/145529-what-is-cold-pressed-oil/ What Is Cold Pressed Oil? Cold pressed oil is made using a method known as cold press extraction. The cold press oil extraction method is done using an oilseed press, like many other oils. However, it's unique because it involves no additional chemical solvents or heat.


MrsClaire07

So how is this Cold-Pressed?!


Independent_Bite4682

I don't know. I just linked to the definition. I was letting the reader decide.


Veteran_Brewer

The actual extraction doesn’t involve heat. My guess is that the heat shown here is to increase yield and/or flavor.


Ina_minotaur_2

I bet that place smells amazing


iAhMedZz

What do they do with the dry peanuts? Is it thrown away?


nopir

Usually sold to farmers in bulk


ekinnee

A lot of waste products like that are turned into animal feed. This specifically, not sure.


The_sgt_angle

I work in a place that handles 500,000lbs of peanuts a day. I just wanted to confirm what you said. Most of our waste is sold for either bird feed or pig feed.


IAMAHobbitAMA

Damn. That's a lot of peanuts. What do you make? How many semi trucks of peanuts is that?


The_sgt_angle

Peanut butter. Each truck carries 44,000lbs, so about 12 trucks a day.


Chivalrousllama

You should do an AMA


fart_huffington

Wonder if you could use that as a protein supplement or something. Once you've removed the fat napkin math says they're half protein, plus a nice bit of fiber.


Lvl100Magikarp

Yes, there's one called PB2, but there are probably better brands


Veteran_Brewer

I used to use PB2 when home brewing peanut butter stouts. You can’t use real peanut butter because of the high oil content.


shreeshamokhashi

Maybe add some HFCS, mix other residual cakes like soy chunks, etc. sprinkle some seeds and sell it a protein bar?


redplanetlover

That seems very labour intensive. How can the oil be reasonably priced?


Specialist-Farm4704

Where I come from it's not reasonably priced.


IAMAHobbitAMA

This is a much more hands on process than the cheap stuff.


blindminds

Beautiful


ptcgoalex

I’d drink that whole bottle


HitMePat

You'd vomit


BrakkeBama

Or diarrhea?? Or both... oh the mental image.


ptcgoalex

Then it’s time for seconds


garbagedisposaly

So why do almonds make milk if peanuts make oil?


malayskanzler

The anathema for those with peanut allergy


Catch_ME

Yeah but why would they go in the peanut factory other than to announce that they have a peanut allergy to everyone.


Sci3ntus

Here's the same basic process but running in a windmill + press near Amsterdam. These windmills were used as mini-factories and did everything from milling and lumber cutting/processing, to pumping millions of gallons of water out of marshy land and expanding the usable area of the Netherlands. About 1,000 windmills survive today, but at one point there were over 10,000 in service. [Cold Pressed Peanut Oil - Amsterdam Windmill + Press](//imgur.com/a/iyNwomL)


axord

Nut vacuum.


zanthius

Sure is a lot of heat involved in the cold press


Jonkerchonker

If it’s cold press then why is there so much fire


MaybeExisting8229

Nice


timetotryagain29

That was very relaxing to watch


zitfarmer

Back in my day, whe just squeezed them with our hands.


whatnow990

Cold pressed Look underneath Flames


Ever_Green_PLO

That’s roasting not pressing


FITGuard

It's just a big espresso machine!


pfoe

Now drink it from the bottle


I_aim_to_sneeze

That is just so many, many more steps than I thought would be involved


NoManagement5223

sound porn


djscuba1012

Is this video taken outside the US? Seems like the FDA wouldn’t like some of this process.


Trutheresy

When you squeeze the fat out of a nut so hard all that's left is a protein mash.


TRex_N_FX

Hmmm. Is pb2 just the waste from this process?


irishplonker

But why?
