COOKING FATS & OIL
Olive Oil
Olive oil is a natural oil extracted from olives, the fruit of the olive tree. It has been a staple in Mediterranean cuisine and various culinary traditions for centuries. There are different types of olive oil, ranging from extra virgin to regular olive oil, with extra virgin being the highest quality. Extra virgin olive oil is extracted from olives using a cold-press process and is not subjected to chemical refining, which helps maintain its rich flavor and nutritional content.
Canola Oil
Canola oil is a vegetable oil derived from a specially bred variety of the rapeseed plant, which has been developed to have low levels of erucic acid, a potentially harmful compound. Canola oil also contains omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for heart health and overall well-being.
Sunflower Oil
Sunflower oil is a popular vegetable oil extracted from sunflower seeds. It is renowned for its mild flavor, light color, and versatility in culinary applications. Sunflower oil is one of the most widely used cooking oils worldwide, appreciated for its neutral taste and high smoke point. It contains vitamin E, an antioxidant that helps protect the oil from oxidation, prolonging its shelf life.
Grapeseed Oil
Grapeseed oil is a vegetable oil derived from the pressed seeds of grapes, particularly those used in winemaking. It is known for its light color, mild flavor, and high smoke point, making it a versatile and popular cooking oil. One of the unique characteristics of grapeseed oil is its high content of polyunsaturated fats, particularly omega-6 fatty acids, and antioxidants such as vitamin E.
Avocado Oil
Avocado oil is a nutrient-rich and versatile oil extracted from the fruit of the avocado tree. It is known for its mild, buttery flavor and is valued for its health benefits and culinary versatility. Avocado oil is prized for its heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, similar to those found in olive oil. It also contains various vitamins, particularly vitamin E, and antioxidants.
Hemp Seed Oil
Hemp seed oil is a unique and nutrient-rich oil derived from the seeds of the hemp plant, Cannabis sativa. It's known for its greenish color and nutty, earthy flavor. Hemp seed oil is distinct from CBD oil, as it is produced from the seeds rather than the leaves, flowers, or stalks of the hemp plant. It is rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, making it a heart-healthy oil. It also provides essential nutrients such as vitamin E and minerals like potassium, magnesium, and calcium.
Flaxseed Oil
Flaxseed oil, also known as linseed oil, is a nutrient-rich oil extracted from the seeds of the flax plant (Linum usitatissimum). It is renowned for its high content of alpha-linolenic acid, which is an omega-3 fatty acid and a type of essential fat that is beneficial for heart health.
Corn Oil
Corn oil is a popular vegetable oil extracted from the germ of corn (maize) kernels. It is known for its mild flavor and high smoke point, which makes it a versatile choice for cooking and frying. Corn oil is low in saturated fats and is a source of polyunsaturated fats, particularly omega-6 fatty acids.
Sesame Oil
Sesame oil is a flavorful and aromatic vegetable oil made from sesame seeds. Sesame oil comes in two main types: light sesame oil and dark sesame oil. Light sesame oil is made from untoasted sesame seeds and has a milder, more neutral flavor. Dark sesame oil, on the other hand, is made from toasted sesame seeds and has a more robust, nutty flavor.
Vegetable Oil
Vegetable oil is a broad and general term used to describe edible oils that are derived from various plant sources. It is one of the most common cooking oils worldwide. Vegetable oils are a source of unsaturated fats and are generally low in saturated fats, making them a heart-healthy choice.
Ghee
Ghee, also known as clarified butter, is a type of butter that has been simmered to separate the milk solids and water from the pure butterfat. What remains is a rich, golden, and highly aromatic fat that is widely used in various cuisines.
Margarine
Margarine is a butter substitute made from a blend of vegetable oils, water, and other ingredients. It was initially created in the 19th century as a more affordable alternative to butter. One of the key advantages of margarine is its lower saturated fat content compared to butter.
