Hello All.

I am pretty concerned by the cooking oil used in cuisine nowadays.

So, for the benefit of health, contributions on this thread will be acknowledged.

Thanks!

Firestar.

Olive oil.

The most recommended especially for those with heart problems. It is known for longevity.

For Nigerian cooking I generally use Carotino oil. it gives food the rich colour without the health risks.

Otherwise i use olive oil or Canola oil depending on what I'm cooking.

~Olive Oil & Sunflower Oil~
Re: What Is The Healthiest Cooking Oil You Use? by Busybody2(f): 2:08am On Oct 17, 2008
Canola oil, Sunflower oil, Olive oil, Flax seed oil, though it is always advised not to use Olive oil to fry food. In general, avoid overheating whatever oil you decide to use.

Olive oil. Expensive but worth it
Re: What Is The Healthiest Cooking Oil You Use? by Biabeke(f): 9:41pm On Jan 27, 2009
For everyone's information, natural palm oil does not contain cholesterol. Palm oil contains vegetable fat. Cholesterol is only present in animal fat. I can prove this, because I am a Food Science and Chemistry major. So enjoy your palm oil without guilt or fear of coronary thrombosis. kiss

Yes, I buy Olive oil for my personal use but when I am cooking for others I use canola (cholesterol free) oil. If I use Olive Oil for catering, no one a go buy from me.
