Oil is the secret to make dishes delicious and is also a must-have for every kitchen.
It is such a kind of thing that needs to be used every day, but it has hurt many people. The cook in your kitchen may also have been recruited.
1. Lard is healthier
There is a saying in the circle of friends:
Now more and more people suffer from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, because everyone does not eat fat meat, lard, but vegetable oil, so lard is actually healthier than vegetable oil…
In fact, the risk factor for cardiovascular diseases is eating too much oil.
However, animal oil contains more saturated fat than vegetable oil, and dietary guidelines in various countries recommend reducing the intake of saturated fatty acids. From this perspective, lard is really no healthier than vegetable oil.
If you like lard, it doesn’t matter to eat it occasionally.
However, for the sake of your health and that of your family, you should eat less animal oil and vegetable oil.
2. Buy more promotional oil and hoard it.
In recent years, oil prices have become more and more expensive. When shopping in supermarkets, if there is a promotion, many people will be moved and want to buy more barrels to hoard and eat slowly.
However, Dr. Clove should remind everyone that after the large barrel of oil is opened, if it is not stored properly, not only the quality will decline, but also it will easily deteriorate and smell hallucinous.
This kind of oil is not only bad to eat, but also harmful to health.
Therefore, if the family population is not large and you can’t eat it in a month or two, don’t buy the large barrel of oil for promotion at a low price.
If there are many people in the family and the oil is used quickly, the problem is not big.
Step 3: Eat only one kind of oil
Some people think peanut oil is fragrant and have been eating peanut oil. Some people think that the more expensive the oil, the better, so they always eat olive oil or linseed oil.
This is wrong.
01. Different oils have different cooking methods.
For example, sesame oil and linseed oil are suitable for making cold dishes. Rapeseed oil and peanut oil are suitable for cooking. Palm oil, butter, suitable for frying.
If sesame oil is used for stir-frying and frying, it will not only be wasted, but also easily produce harmful substances and endanger health.
02. Different oils have different nutritional values.
The fatty acid composition of oils and fats is different. Eating only one kind of oil for a long time is not conducive to fatty acid balance.
Therefore, it is better to eat oil instead.
4. Buy many kinds of oil at home,
After reading the above [oil needs to be changed to eat], many people must go to the supermarket buy buy to buy it.
Don’t worry!
Changing food ≠ buying many kinds of
The amount of oil used per person per day is only 25 ~ 35g. If you buy many kinds of oil at once, then each bottle will be used very slowly, and it is likely that you have not finished eating it by the time it expires, which is even more unhealthy.
-What should I do?
-Dr. Clove suggests that you:
- It is good to prepare 2-3 kinds of oil at home, and mix vegetables and stir-fry separately. Buy a small package and change it when you finish eating.
5. Buy [cholesterol-free] vegetable oils
Many people are worried that excessive cholesterol intake will affect cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health, so some businesses have introduced [cholesterol-free XX oil].
This is totally a hype gimmick.
Because all vegetable oils do not contain cholesterol!
6. Squeeze oil is better than leach oil.
Vegetable oil is divided into two types in processing technology: squeezed oil and leached oil.
Rumor has it on the Internet that n-hexane will be used as the leaching solvent in the production process of leaching oil, which is extremely harmful to health!
Actually:
- N-hexane used in edible oil processing must be food grade with very low heavy metal residues. For qualified leaching oil, solvents such as n-hexane are not allowed to be detected.
Therefore, whether it is squeezed oil or leached oil, as long as it is qualified, it is generally safe.
7. Buy blend oil without looking at the ingredient list.
Some people think that since cooking oil needs to be changed, it is not good to buy blend oil directly.
Blend oil is a mixed product of various oils. For those who are too lazy to change oil, it seems really convenient.
However, we must be careful of the problems of merchants.
For example, a brand of camellia and olive blend oil, according to its name, is mainly camellia oil (camellia seed oil) and olive oil, which is very high.
But in fact, corn oil and rapeseed oil are the most in the ingredient list, and olive oil and camellia seed oil are especially few.
Dr. Clove stressed again that shopping depends not only on the shelf life, but also on the ingredient list and nutrition list.
8. Smoke the oil before serving the dishes.
It is the cooking experience of the older generation to order food after the oil smokes.
In their time, there were many impurities in the oil, and the smoke of the oil (volatilization of impurities) meant that the oil temperature was high enough.
However, the oil we use now is refined and has few impurities. If smoke actually means that the oil temperature is already too high, the lampblack itself is harmful to the body. Excessive oil temperature will also produce more harmful substances and also cause food nutrition loss.
9. Repeated use of frying oil
Frying usually requires more oil. Many people are reluctant to pour out the old oil after using it and will continue to use it for cooking.
Although this is quite economical, the fried oil contains a lot of residues, which are not only easy to deteriorate, but also harmful. Stir-frying with such oil is very harmful to health.
Dr. Clove suggested that the oil that has been fried (especially for a long time) should not be used, so as to keep healthy, which is the greatest saving.
10. Self-squeezing oil and earth-squeezing oil are healthier.
Many people think that extracting oil from soil or self-extracting oil is not only more fragrant, but also healthier.
However, in fact, they have great potential safety hazards:
01. Not refined, with many impurities.
Earth-pressed oil and self-pressed oil contain more impurities. Although the oil is indeed more fragrant, it is easy to deteriorate and the lampblack is relatively large when cooking, which is not conducive to health.
Class 02. 1 carcinogen aflatoxin exceeded the standard.
Aflatoxin is commonly found in moldy peanuts and grains.
Oil from large manufacturers has strict standards from material selection to processing, with a high qualified rate. However, self-squeezed oil and earth-squeezed oil have no quality control and lack of supervision. Aflatoxin exceeds the standard seriously, and long-term eating will increase cancer risk.
