🧴 Key Factors When Choosing  Cooking Oils

1.

Smoke Point

This is the temperature at which oil starts to smoke and break down.

Cooking past this point can create harmful compounds and ruin flavor.

• High heat (frying, roasting): Choose  oils with a high smoke point.
• Low to medium heat (sautéing, dressings): You can use oils with lower smoke points.

2. Fat Composition

Healthier oils tend to be:

• High in monounsaturated fats (heart-healthy, reduce inflammation)
• Low in saturated fats
• Contain omega-3s or other essential fatty acids
