Why canola oil?

-

SCanola oil has the lowest level of saturated fats among all types of cooking oil.

cientific studies have proven the heart-health benefits of using canola oil in everyday cooking, which is why doctors and other health profession­als have recommende­d canola oil. According to Thina Asis, registered nutritioni­st-dietician, canola oil has essential fatty acids which promote heart health. “Canola oil has omega-3 and omega-6 which help lower cholestero­l and blood pressure,” Asis said. Made from the crushed seeds of the canola plant, canola oil is a great source of plant-based omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.

Several RNDs like Christine Alcantara and April Manlangit also echoed the same informatio­n about canola oil.

“Canola oil has the lowest level of saturated fats among all types of cooking oil,’’ Alcantara said. “This will help minimize the risks of heart diseases and stroke.”

Manlangit highlighte­d the importance of having a high smoke point in cooking.

“Canola oil has a high smoke point so it is very ideal for frying,” Manlangit explained. “Smoke point refers to when the oil begins to break down and produce chemicals which may be harmful to health, so it is important to choose a cooking oil which has a high smoke point,” Manlangit added.
