Edible oil is the food we use every day, whether it is stir-frying or making soup, it is inseparable from the participation of edible oil. From the people often say "seven things to open the door to fry rice oil salt sauce vinegar tea", we can find the importance of edible oil. It's just that in the face of so many cooking oils, sometimes I really don't know how to choose. People with better economic conditions may choose olive oil, camellia oil or walnut oil. The general public may choose soybean oil, corn oil, peanut oil, or rapeseed oil.
In fact, the choice of cooking oil is very important, and choosing the right one may have a positive effect on the body. The wrong choice can seriously affect your health. When choosing edible oil, you can't simply look at the price, the price does not represent health.
Edible oil, although the varieties are different, but we can also classify it according to the proportion of saturated fatty acids, monounsaturated fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids, which can be divided into the following four categories:
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the first category: edible oils with higher linoleic acid content</h1>
Mainly including our common soybean oil, corn oil, sunflower oil, walnut oil, corn oil, sesame oil and so on. Peanut oil and walnut oil, which are more expensive, actually contain much difference between the main fatty acids and soybean oil, and they all belong to edible oils with higher linoleic acid content.
< h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the second category: edible oils with high monounsaturated fatty acid content</h1>
The price is expensive, and hundreds of olive oil and tea seed oil are actually edible oils with high monounsaturated fatty acid content. The rapeseed oil often consumed by the people in the south is not much different from olive oil and tea seed oil in terms of composition, which are also edible oils with high monounsaturated fatty acid content.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the third category: edible oils with higher linolenic acid content</h1>
There are really not many varieties with high linolenic acid content in edible oils, and they are not as rich as other categories. Among our common edible oils, only flaxseed oil and perilla oil contain more linolenic acid, but the people eat very little.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the fourth category: edible oils with a relatively high saturated fatty acid content</h1>
Meat food is more delicious to eat, and when stir-frying, put a few slices of meat, the taste will be much better. The main reason is that meat foods have a high content of saturated fatty acids, and the common lard, butter and sheep fat are all edible oils with high saturated fatty acid content. It is precisely because of the high content of saturated fatty acids that these oils appear semi-solid after cooling.
In the above classification, some friends may find that although there are more varieties of edible oil in their own homes, they are often concentrated in a certain type of edible oil, and other edible oils eat less. Animal oils and fats are mainly saturated fatty acids, and the high intake of saturated fatty acids will increase the risk of obesity, hyperlipidemia, atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, animal fat is not recommended to be eaten as a daily cooking oil.
Chinese for the consumption of edible oil, it is that edible oil rich in linoleic acid eats more, while the second type rich in monounsaturated fatty acids and the third type of edible oil rich in linolenic acid eat less. At this time, it is necessary to reduce the intake of the first type of edible oil and increase the intake of the second and third types of edible oil.
Moreover, in addition to the fourth type of edible oil that has been blacklisted, the first three types of edible oil should be eaten in exchange, and cannot be limited to a certain type of edible oil. Of course, you can choose one of the first three types of cooking oils to make a blending oil. In this way, you can achieve the effect of eating one kind equal to three kinds.
For edible oil, there is also a problem to pay attention to, that is, the problem of edible amount. No matter which kind of edible oil, even if it is expensive, even if it contains DHA and EPA, it is essentially a cooking oil. Cooking oil, on the other hand, is a pure energy food. 1 gram of oil, also produces 9 kcal of heat.
Eating too much cooking oil will also lead to excessive energy intake, which will also turn into fat accumulation in the body, and will also increase the risk of fatty liver, obesity, hypertension, diabetes and gout. For edible oil intake, the Chinese Nutrition Society recommends that adults control it between 25 and 30 grams per day.
With the participation of edible oil, the color and flavor of the food will change greatly. And the wrong choice can endanger our health. While choosing the right cooking oil, be sure to pay attention to the amount. There is no beauty or evil in things, but there is disaster in the past. Edible oil, but also eat healthy!
