Have you thought about cooking with your beauty oils?

Choosing your vegetable oil

Vegetable oils are derived from seeds, legumes, nuts, and certain fruits. When purchasing your vegetable oils, choose non-esterified oils , meaning they have not been chemically modified by the addition of alcohol. We recommend cooking with high-quality, pure, cold-pressed organic vegetable oils. Choosing your vegetable oils is the same as choosing your cosmetics. In fact, many oils have the advantage of being used in both cosmetics and culinary dishes.

All vegetable oils are rich in essential fatty acids (omega-3 and omega-6), which play a vital role in health and skin. It is preferable to use vegetable fats rather than animal fats such as butter. Unlike vegetable fats, which are excellent for the body because they do not contain cholesterol, animal fats are bad for the heart.

Which oil should you use with your recipes?

To benefit from all the benefits of these oils, it is important to vary their uses . Each vegetable oil has its own specificities and does not resist heat in the same way.

For frying, you can choose olive oil, peanut oil, or coconut oil. For pan-frying or wok-frying, choose rice bran oil, sesame oil, grapeseed oil, or sunflower oil.

All other virgin oils, rich in complex fatty acids, are beneficial for cold dressing, for your salads for example. You have many alternatives: walnut oil, camelina oil, wheat oil, macadamia oil, hazelnut oil…

Vegetable oils for preserving your food

Vegetable oils are a good way to preserve. Your preserves can be flavored with sunflower oil or olive oil. Grape seed oil, sesame oil or even black cumin oil are possible provided that you respect 10% of the total volume maximum to flavor your grilled or cooked vegetables (mushrooms, peppers, artichoke, etc.) or your citrus fruits (lemon, mandarin, orange, cherry, peach, etc.)

As seen in our article, and if the solution was vegetable oils, many of them are also used for their cosmetic and well-being benefits.

For a multi-use option, you can choose coconut oil or macadamia oil. Both are effective as beauty products. and in cooking, these oils are essential.

Tip: For your hair, apply coconut or macadamia oil to dry hair, wrap it in a warm towel overnight, and wash it with a mild shampoo and a mask. Your hair will be nourished, shiny, and supple.

We recommend that you always store your oil tightly closed, in a cupboard away from light and heat to preserve it as well as possible and prevent it from oxidizing.
