The Best Cooking Oils for Your Health

Introduction

• In India, since time immemorial, the oil you use
  in your kitchen is largely dependent on where you
  come from. In Kerala, it's coconut oil, in Andhra
  and Rajasthan, it's sesame oil, in the east and
  north they use mustard oil and in central India
  and Gujarat groundnut oil is used. Different
  cultures eat differently and the type of oil fits
  beautifully into the food landscape of that
  region.But all that changed in the 80's with the
  scare of cholesterol and heart disease.

Sunflower Oil

• The oil extracted from the seeds of sunflowers
  is known as sunflower oil. It has a high quantity
  of vitamin E, which makes it excellent for being
  used in and cosmetic products. Sunflower oil is a
  mixture of monounsaturated (MUFA) and
  polyunsaturated (PUFA) fatty acids. It has a high
  smoking point, which means that sunflower oil
  holds onto its nutritional content at higher
  temperatures, which is probably why this oil is
  widely used in deep frying chips, samosas and
  vegetables.The Best Sunflower Edible Oil used in
  Kitchen.

Coconut Oil

• This oil is full of saturated fat. Studies
  suggest that diets high in coconut oil do raise
  total blood cholesterol and LDL cholesterol.
  Coconut oil also seems to raise HDL (good)
  cholesterol and it has the advantage that it
  behaves very well at high temperatures.

Groundnut Oil

• Groundnut oil or peanut oil is got a good
  combination of fats, and has the good
  monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats and is
  low in bad saturated fats. It's a good
  all-purpose oil for cooking and I think it works
  particularly well for Asian foods that are
  prepared in the wok.

6
Mustard Oil

• Has a near ideal fat composition but not very
  good as it contains high amounts of erucic acid
  ranging from 35 to 48. It is recommended that
  you don't use mustard oil as the sole cooking
  medium. It has a high smoking point so it's very
  good for deep frying.

7
Canola Oil

• A recent entrant into the Indian market, Canola
  is flying off the shelves. Canola oil, which is
  made from the crushed seeds of the canola plant,
  is said to be amongst the healthiest of cooking
  oils. It has the lowest saturated fat content of
  any oil. It's seen as a healthy alternative as
  its rich in monounsaturated fats and is high in
  Omega 3. It has a medium smoking point and is an
  oil that works well for fries, baking, sautéing
  etc. I use it liberally in Indian food, which it
  seems to embrace quite well.
