Still using Refined Oil?

Still using Refined Oil?

I stopped using refined oil for more than three to four years now.

Even for the purpose of frying, we use mustard oil, and not refined oil.

We use mustard oil and ghee for cooking our vegetables and dal.

The refining process of oil uses a lot of acids, that is further deodorized with a chemical called Hexanol to remove the pungent smell.

When the processed refined oil is heated for the frying purpose, it oxidizes and releases trans fat, which is dangerous for the human body and may lead to heart problem and cancer.

Avoid:

Canola oil
Vegetable oil
Soybean
Safflower
Corn oils
Margarine (or any other ‘buttery’ spread)

You can safely use:

Mustard Oil
Desi Ghee
Coconut Oil
