Cooking Tip

Cooking Oil

Naturally, when choosing an oil to cook with you want an oil that will not be damaged by high cooking temperatures. Of all the available oils, coconut oil is the oil of choice for cooking because it is nearly a completely saturated fat, which means it is much less susceptible to damage when it is heated.

• Butter, margarine, and olive oil are not good choices for deep frying or cooking that involves high heat because of their low smoking points.
