About Oil for cooking

Oil for cooking is a versatile ingredient derived from plant-based or animal sources, including olive, vegetable, sunflower, canola, coconut, and sesame oil. Popular globally, these oils are staples in cuisines such as Mediterranean, Asian, and American. Rich in fats, cooking oils serve as a key energy source and provide essential fatty acids, which support cell health and vitamin absorption. Oils like olive and avocado are praised for their high monounsaturated fat content, known to promote heart health. Those high in polyunsaturated fats, such as sunflower oil, may contribute to cholesterol management, while coconut oil contains medium-chain triglycerides, offering quick energy. However, many oils are calorie dense, so moderation is essential. Overuse of refined or hydrogenated oils, often high in trans fats, can increase the risk of heart disease. Selecting minimally processed oils and using them sparingly can enhance flavor and nutrition in a balanced diet.
