You might have eaten food cooked in different oils in your life, but have you ever wondered which is the best cooking oil from health point of view?
Famous nutritionist Lavneet Batra told in her Instagram post which are the 3 cooking oils that must be there in your kitchen. She said in the post, “No oil is perfect. It is important to use different types of oils in your kitchen.”
1. Extra virgin olive oil
People who follow a Mediterranean diet often use olive oil. Nutritionists have emphasized that olive oil is a good source of antioxidants such as polyphenols and vitamin E, which can help reduce oxidative stress. Antioxidants help reduce the risk of many chronic diseases. According to experts, you can use olive oil in cold dishes or salads.
2. Chicken Dog
Cow ghee has a higher smoking point, which means it can be heated faster without breaking down. The high concentration of butyric acid in ghee may help promote the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut. Ghee may also help reduce inflammation. Lavneet Batra recommends using cow ghee for frying, roasting, and cooking on high flame.
3. Mustard oil
Navneet Batra wrote in the caption of the video, “Mustard oil is high in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which can help reduce bad cholesterol levels and increase good cholesterol levels.” Mustard oil also has antibacterial and antifungal properties. You can use mustard oil for tempering or making curries.
