I was in Sprouts Farmer’s Market today looking at the different organic cooking oils they had and it got me thinking that I am not very educated about what cooking oils are best for different dishes. I was also not sure which oils were the best as far as health is concerned. So I decided to do a little research to make some sense of it. Here is what I found:<\/p>\n

Extra Virgin Olive Oil<\/strong><\/p>\n

The benefits – High in monounsaturated fats, lowers bad cholesterol levels while raising the good.<\/p>\n

Uses – Salad dressings and drizzled over cooked dishes for flavor.<\/p>\n

Canola Oil<\/strong><\/p>\n

The benefits – Rich in alpha-linolenic acid, a type of omega-3 fatty acid. High in monounsaturated fats. Mild flavor and can withstand high heats.<\/p>\n

Uses – Sauteing, frying, and baking.<\/p>\n

Sesame Oil<\/strong><\/p>\n

The benefits – Rich in monounstaurated fats and polyunsaturated fats. May help lower blood pressure, reduce bad cholesterol, and increase good cholesterol. Rich nutty flavor and high heat tolerance.<\/p>\n

Uses – Asian flavored dressing and marinades or stir-fries.<\/p>\n

Coconut Oil <\/strong><\/p>\n

The benefits – Virgin coconut oil may actually reduce bad cholesterol despite its high saturated fat content. Read more about the benefits of coconut oil<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Uses – A butter substitute in baking. I also use coconut oil for making pancakes and waffles.<\/p>\n

Walnut Oil<\/strong><\/p>\n

The benefits – High in polyunsaturated fats and omega-3 fatty acids. A bold delicious flavor.<\/p>\n

Uses – Sauces, dressings, or a finishing oil.<\/p>\n

Tip! – To extend the shelf life of oils store them in your refrigerator.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
