Found More on Coconut (and Olive Oil)

[Guest guest]

Okay, I found another article I had from Veggie Life Magazine. I'm sorry I

can't tell which issue it was since I had torn the article out. I'm pretty

sure it was within the past year. The article is from a regular contributor

they have every issue. It's called " Be Nourished with Rebecca Wood " . SHe has

a web site: www.BeNourished.com.

 

It is a whole article on oils. Here are bits and pieces from the article.

 

" Monounsaturated Oils

Moderate Heat (325 degrees): Olive Oil (76% omega-9).

 

Saturated fats

High heat (more than 375 degrees): Coconut Oil. "

 

In her article she states she only bakes with butter and coconut oil. She

says that ... " some manufacturere claim that you can bake with polyunsaturated

oils at temps up ato 325 degrees because, for example, a muffin's interior temp

remains lower than the oven temp. Following that logic, the muffin's interior

fatty acids will not be denatured, but what about the exterior ones? "

 

For stir frying and sauteing she recommends hazelnut, olive or sesame oil.

Cook over moderate heat and judge the temp with your senses.

 

 

I think I forgot to also mention that organic annie has a website.

Interesting. I had been under the impression that sesame oil should not be

heated/isn't good at high heats/add only at the end for flavor....

There are two kinds of sesame oil. The dark, toasted variety should be added

at the end. The light, mild variety can be used for full cooking.

Ok! I don't think I even own the light variety, lol. I usually cook with

either olive or peanut oil. Thanks for the info.

Me, too! When I first became veg I bought every variety imagineable so make

sure I had on hand whatever the new recipes called for. That lasted until I

used up all the bottles. Now I have EVOlive Oil, regular soy oil, toasted

sesame oil, chili oil, and truffle oil.
