SalemMango: Pure Groundnut Oil and Pure Coconut Oil Review

Groundnut oil and Coconut oil

Pure Coconut oil (Thengai Ennai) is one of the most versatile oil which not only can be used for skin and hair but also is edible and can be used in place of vegetable oil or butter. Coconut oil is a little different from other cooking oil. It contains several types of healthy saturated fats. In recent years coconut oil is gaining popular because of its versatility and health benefits. Among different health benefits, coconut oil is good for many  diseases and for lowering high triglycerides due to high saturated fats. It's also good for blood sugar and weight loss. 


Groundnut oil or peanut oil is rich in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which can protect us from heart diseases. Groundnut oil has a mild peanut flavor and is of bright yellow in colour.  Groundnut oil is free from cholesterol and contains lots of essential fatty acids like omega-6.


SalemMango is well known for its mango supply. It's an online company which supply naturally ripend, chemical-free, hand picked mangoes directly to their customers through online order. Besides mangoes the company also supply some organic products like sugar, jaggery,  dairy, honey, oil etc. The company delivers accross India within 5-7 business days and free delivery across Tamil Nadu. The company also supply Pure Groundnut Oil and Pure Coconut Oil. I am using these two oil products for last few days and here is my review on both the oil.



SalemMango Pure Coconut Oil Review:

Product name: Pure Coconut Oil 
Brand: SalemMango 
Quantity: 1 Litre Cost: Rs. 229/-

"Salem Mango Pure Coconut Oil  is very easy to use.  The hole in the oil bottle cap makes it easy to pour out the content without making a mess.  As I have used the oil during autumn and the temperature in India during autumn is pretty hot, I can't say whether it becomes solid during winter or remains in the liquid state.  But I loved the flavour.  It has a mild coconut smell and is white in colour. I have used this SalemMango pure coconut oil in making curries and frying fritters.  As coconut oil mostly contains saturated fat, it is suitable for deep frying and hence good for frying fritters. As it has a multiple use, I tried it on my hair and skin also. What I really liked about the SalemMango coconut oil was the subtle flavour and smooth texture and off course it's versatile nature. Single oil with multiple use with lots of health benefits."

"SalemMango Pure Groundnut oil  has a mild peanut smell and is of bright yellow in colour. The bottling of the product is very good and you no need to transfer the oil in oil dispenser. The bottle cap has a small hole and so it is very easy to pour in the cooking pan and easy to use. I mostly used it in making chapatis, halwa and chowmein. I also used it raw in making chapati dough.

Alpine Retreat : Best Homestay In Guwahati : A Review

 If you are looking for a best homestay in Guwahati, then I will highly recommend to check out the  Alpine retreat homestay, a lovely urban apartment at the right of the  heart of the area.  During our last visit to Guwahati, we had decided to stay at a homestay instead of staying in a hotel. The reason of choosing a homestay over a hotel is that we wanted a homely atmosphere and a homestay is a kind of accommodation where tourists are treated like guests, not clients and they are given rooms to stay together with the host family in the same house. A homestay is after all someone's home. In homestay we don't have to confined in a single room just like in a hotel. As the American novelist Edgar Watson Howe beautifully quoted  "To be an ideal guest, stay at home. ".  Alpine retreat is a lovely urban apartment that provides homestay with patio. Just 4.5 km from Paltan Bazar railway station, located on the G.S road,  Alpine retreat is easily accessible an...
