Why I Stopped Using 'Vegetable Oil' by DZTech: 1:38am On Oct 07, 2023 |
So I got to learn that MOST of the so called 'veg oil' on the market is BLEACHED palm oil (so it's a vegetable, who knew). Juuust check the ingredients of ANY bottle or sachet you buy. Once upon a time, you could get REAL groundnut oil, but it's now a rare commodity, no thanks to the economy. I use palm oil for cooking, frying, baking, lining my bread pan, etc. I mean, why pay more money for a product that's lost MOST of it's nutrients? And it could be deadly to your heart... To be clear, this is NOT a health warning; just a personal opinion. Your thoughts? God bless 🇳🇬 3 Likes |

There are many branded quality groundnut oil you can get in the market if you really have to use good "vegetable" oil. |

🆗 You & your children can also stop using mar margarine since it's also made from Palm oil. Simply use the palm oil on their sandwiches🍔 2 Likes 1 Share |

Add goose fat if your palm oil if you don’t want to use the more conventional vegetable oils to semi-bleach it. Goose fat has a neutrally pleasant flavour that goes well with anything, from toast to okra to puff-puff to rice. I hardly butter my toast without it now. |

DZTech: Technically speaking, Palm olein is not palm oil Just like crude oil is not petrol or diesel |
Re: Why I Stopped Using 'Vegetable Oil' by DZTech: 3:32pm On Oct 10, 2023 |
HeatSeeker:true, but the source is the same. and what's removed is packed with nutrients, especially beta carotenes. so you pay more for less. |
