Why We Like It
- One ingredient, cold-pressed and filtered once, the same oil sold by the litre.
- We like that the can uses compressed air behind a sealed bag, not a hydrocarbon propellant mixed into the oil.
- No lecithin, anti-foam or emulsifier, which most sprays need to make refined oil behave.
- The base oil's lab reports cover the things that matter for groundnut oil: argemone, residual hexane, aflatoxin and heavy metals, all clear.
- About 4 kcal a spray, rather than a zero conjured from a tiny serving size.
- A light coat on a tawa or air-fryer basket uses a fraction of what a pour does.
Ingredients
Groundnut (peanut) oil
Sole ingredientCold-pressed from a native groundnut variety and filtered once, so it keeps its colour and aroma; contains peanut, an allergen.
Compressed air (propellant)
Propellant onlySits outside a sealed inner bag and pushes the oil out without ever mixing with it, so there is no butane, propane or other chemical propellant.

Two Brothers Groundnut Oil Spray versus other cooking oil sprays
| What to compare | Purepicked | Other cooking oil sprays |
|---|---|---|
| The oil | Cold-pressed, single-filtered groundnut oil, one ingredient | Often refined, solvent-extracted oil or a blend |
| Propellant | Compressed air in a bag-on-valve can; never touches the oil | Often butane, propane or isobutane mixed into the oil |
| Additives | None | May include soy lecithin, dimethyl silicone (anti-foam) or emulsifiers |
| Contaminant testing | Argemone, residual hexane, aflatoxin and heavy metals tested, Astute Labs, July 2025 | Rarely tested |
| Per spray | About 0.41 ml and 4 kcal | Often labelled 0 kcal by using a very small serving size |
| Fat profile per 100 ml | 7 g saturated, 53 g MUFA, 38 g PUFA | Depends on the oil; refining does not change it |
Is It For You?
Good for
Air-fryer, grill and tawa cooking where a light, even coat is the point
Anyone measuring oil intake who still wants an unrefined oil
Greasing baking tins and salad dressings
Households that already cook with groundnut oil
Avoid if
Anyone with a peanut allergy
Deep frying or any use that needs a pour; buy the bottled oil instead
Anyone who wants a completely neutral, odourless oil; this is unrefined and tastes of groundnut
Spraying onto an open flame or a red-hot pan
How to use
Mist an air-fryer basket or tray before loading, then again lightly halfway through for colour
Spray a hot tawa or pan before dosa, chilla, eggs or parathas
Coat vegetables and paneer for roasting or grilling
Grease cake tins and baking sheets evenly
Spray over a salad and toss for a light dressing
What to look for in Oil Spray?
Read the propellant. Many sprays mix butane, propane or isobutane into the oil itself; a bag-on-valve can uses air that never touches the food.
The ingredient list should be one oil. Lecithin, dimethyl silicone and emulsifiers are there to make a refined oil spray evenly.
Ask how the oil was made. Refined oil is usually solvent-extracted, and that step is never declared on the label.
Be wary of 0 kcal claims. Oil is 9 kcal a gram; a zero comes from a tiny serving size, not from the oil.
Look for contaminant testing. Groundnut oil should be checked for argemone, aflatoxin and residual hexane.
