tips
Contrary to many people’s beliefs, it is better to fry in olive oil than in seed oil or other vegetable fats.
When fats are exposed to cooking temperatures, they begin to oxidize.
Their destruction increases as the exposed temperature and time increase.
Olive oil due to its high content of antioxidants and unsaturated fats
resists oxidation so as not to burden the body with harmful derivatives.
This makes it the healthiest choice for the pan.
In frying while the fat is exposed for a long time at fairly high temperatures,
olive oil, remains stable, because the oleic acid it contains does not change, until almost zero linoleic acid content.
This means that olive oil is not only the best solution for frying,
but can also be reused. If every time we add new olive oil in the pan, it is fed back with antioxidants and if the temperature does not exceed 170-180 ° C we have a healthier choice than seed oils.
Two to three spoons a day can change your taste experience and your health!
