When did Panyu squeeze peanut oil originate?

65438+ originated in Europe and America in the early 8th century. Edible vegetable oils were not recorded until the Song Dynasty, including sesame oil, soybean oil, vegetable oil and tea oil.

Among the ancient edible oils, peanut oil should be the most controversial one. Many people think that peanut was introduced into China only in the Ming Dynasty, so peanut oil appeared after that. In fact, peanut oil existed as early as the Song and Yuan Dynasties. According to the records of Yu Hai Zhi Heng in Yunnan, peanuts were planted in Song and Yuan Dynasties and used to extract oil. Peanut oil is not only used for eating, but also for lighting.
