Cooking Oil

Oil is highly essential for a healthy body. You can pour, drizzle or splash

cooking oil---the only thing you need to ensure is that they are healthy and

do not exceed the requisite quantity.

Cooking oils are a combination of saturated, polyunsaturated,

monounsaturated and trans fatty acids.

Hardly any cooking can be called complete without the presence of cooking

oils. There are a wide variety of cooking oils available with their own

distinguished set of advantages and disadvantages.

No single cooking oil as such can be called completely advantageous or

disadvantageous by or in itself.

The general rule as such one should apply when it comes to the selection of

cooking oil is to chose one that offers the maximum health benefit with

minimal side effects.

Sunflower oil and corn oil are the two best and most popular type of cooking

oil. In the following section we shall look in detail about their health

benefits,

We shall also find out as to why these two versatile and multi-purpose

cooking oils should be the ideal choice for any cooking.

Sunflower Oil

Sunflower oil is non-volatile oil compressed from sunflower seeds. Sunflower

oils are available in two varieties: polyunsaturated sunflower oil and

monounsaturated sunflower oil.

Polyunsaturated sunflower oil is rich in polyunsaturated fat and vitamin E.

Monounsaturated sunflower oil are bred in a special way to maximise their fat

content.

Both varieties of the sunflower oil are known to have strong cholesterol

prevention and reducing properties. This is important as too much cholesterol

begin to clog your arteries.

Arteries are blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart. Cholesterol

build up in arteries makes it harder for the blood to flow through them.

Reduced level of blood flow can result in serious medical complications like

heart attack and stroke.

Sunflower oil is highly versatile for cooking and a very good value for money.

You can use sunflower oil for high, low as well as medium heat cooking

without any fear of losing vital food nutrients.

Corn Oil

Corn oil contains higher degree of polyunsaturated fat. This lowers

cholesterol and contributes to a healthy and fit living.

Corn oil has high smoke point (the temperature at which the cooking oil

begins to break down and give off smoke).

This makes it ideal for cooking food items that require deep frying. Corn oil

also has a mild flavour. You can therefore use it for baking food items that

need oil only for moisture and texturing purpose.

Corn oil also contains high amount of Vitamin E. A tablespoon of corn oil in

fact can give you almost 15 percent of Vitamin E required by your body.

In simpler terms your body needs around 15 mg of Vitamin E daily and a

tablespoon of corn oil contains 2 mg.

Vitamin E has strong antioxidant properties which neutralises free radicals

thereby considerably reducing the risk of cancers and heart complications.
