What kind of edible oil is the best and healthiest?

The four healthiest edible oils are peanut oil, rapeseed oil, corn oil and lard.

1, peanut oil

Peanut oil belongs to balanced vegetable oil. Compared with other oils and fats, it has rich aroma and contains more nutrients, such as vitamin E and carotene, which is higher than ordinary vegetable oil and suitable for general cooking, such as baking and stir-frying. However, raw peanuts are easily contaminated by aflatoxin and breed Aspergillus flavus, so we should pay attention to avoid peanut oil made from this raw material.

2. Rapeseed oil

Rapeseed oil is rich in lecithin, carotene, vitamin E and other nutrients, but it should be noted that some rapeseed oil has a high erucic acid content, so it takes a long time to burn when using rapeseed oil, which is beneficial to volatilize some erucic acid. Or you can buy rapeseed oil without erucic acid in the market. Under normal circumstances, the package will be marked with erucic acid or not.

3. Corn oil

Compared with other oils and fats, corn oil has higher digestibility and good stability, and contains a variety of nutrients, including unsaturated fatty acids, vitamin E, vitamin A and so on. , and contains no cholesterol, suitable for stewing.

4.lard

In many people's minds, lard is considered unhealthy oil because it contains saturated fatty acids. Lard, on the other hand, has good heat resistance and less oxidative polymerization after long-term heating, so it is suitable for processing cakes and fried foods and creating crisp taste.

Selection skills of edible oil

1, look at the color

The color of the oil of the same brand is similar, but if the color difference between two barrels of different brands of edible oil is obvious, it means that there is something wrong with the quality of the oil. Different brands and different raw materials have different colors, so pay attention to observation when buying. Good quality soybean oil is dark yellow, generally light yellow; Rapeseed oil is yellow, with some green or golden yellow; Peanut oil is light yellow or orange, and cottonseed oil is light yellow.

Step 2 smell it

When the lid of the oil drum is opened, the unique smell of oil will come to the nose. Pure fragrance means better quality of oil. If there are other odors, there is something wrong with the oil. You can also touch a little cooking oil with your fingers, rub it on your palm, rub it back and forth, and smell it after rubbing, so you can judge further.
