Coconut oil, avocado, nuts, fish oil, extra virgin olive oil. Avoid letting oil smoke in the pan as it becomes carcinogenic when doing so.

Awwww Nuts

Fats Domino.

virgin olive oil

Ghee has a very high smoking point, and is a natural oil that has been used for thousands of years in India. Does impart a flavour to cooking that isn't for every use.

It is an amazing flavour.

For cannabis infusion, the most common oils used in the medical industry (for example Tilray and Bedrocan) are peanut oil for ingestion and Coco nut oil for skin application and cosmetics.

Been using Avocado oil for cooking recently as Coconut used to be our go to. Trying hard not to use any oil for cooking but its damn hard! Agree with the smoking points... we found this helpful :-)

This is a really complex question.

Trans fats are an obvious no no. Those occur naturally and in manmade products (hydrogenated fats).

But many vegetable oils (oilseed rape, peanut, sunflower, olive) etc are contaminated with aflatoxins produced by fungi that can cause liver cancer. Similarly, vegetable oils can contain Benzo(a)pyrene after you cook them.

The most healthy fats are unsaturated fats.

But we are all going to die at some point anyway so invest your health in what you love.

Extra virgin olive oil. It even prevents as many toxins being produced by the frying process

Sadly not true. Frying stuff in Extra virgin is a no no. It has a low burning point and lots of stuff in it to burn - carbonising stuff = carcinogen.

Your are right. Maybe coconut oil would be better for frying and have the olive oil cold

Coconut oil is great, but it's full of saturated fat. Jury is still out about how bad that is.

Ideally I fry in groundnut, as it has the highest burning point (which is why a lot of chinese food recommends it).

But as I said elsewhere, you choose how you invest your health. I invest mine in eating delicious food.

Regarding coconut oil, there was a bbc documentary that showed coconut oil was medium CT and so reduced LDL . Obviously too much is a bad thing but I do think it’s a good oil, not to mention the brain benefits of MCT’s

As I said, the jury is out on saturated fats in general.

I think that, with the exclusion of tainted oils and trans fats, the "good oils/bad oils" thing is a bit simplistic.

Eat what you love, in moderate amounts, exercise a lot. Eat more veg.

That's it. The rest is a lottery!

good stuff, thank you

Frying in nice oil is a waste of money. While it may have a low flash point. That flash point is still going to be lower than what you're cooking at. I'd argue that teflon coated pans most people have are more carcinogenic than whatever fats people float in them.

Hemp seed oil

Probably extra virgin olive oil, raw

Olive oil which has been cold pressed is best for you but don’t obviously use to deep fry
Lard is a good fat to use to deep fry !!
