In a previous post we outlined the reasons fats are good for you, listed the good fats and the bad fats so you’ll know the difference.
Here we want to share a list of the healthiest cooking oils:
- Extra-Virgin Olive Oil: light, fruity flavor, high anti-oxidant value in fresh (6 months or less), destroyed in very high heat.
- Canola oil: neutral flavor, good substitute for olive oil and has a longer shelf-life.
- Walnut Oil: nutty flavor, store in the fridge, high in omega 3 fatty acids.
- Grape Seed Oil: light flavor, versatile.
- Peanut Oil: neutral taste, good for frying or high-heat cooking.
- Sesame Oil: dense flavor best added in small quantities.
- Coconut Oil: tasty consumed raw, excellent for baking.
