4 GREAT SUBSTITUTES FOR VEGETABLE OILS

Here are 4 nutritious substitutes for vegetable oils:

Coconut oil: Great for medium and high heat cooking, can be hypoallergenic though

Avocado oil: Great for medium and high heat cooking

MCT oil: Great for medium and high heat cooking (…and even in coffee!)

Organic butter or ghee: Great for medium heat cooking!

Coconut, avocado, and MCT oil are great for high heat cooking as they can withstand high heat. Avocado oil can withstand 520 degrees (F) while coconut can withstand 365 degrees (F). It’s best to rotate these three oils to avoid food sensitivities.

Butter and palm oil are great for medium heat cooking. Meanwhile, olive oil is best for low heat cook (as it oxidizes super fast!) Other nut and seed oils like peanut and flaxseed oil should not be used for cooking but can be used in salad dressings or in shakes. They are still healthy but cannot withstand heat!

Other oils such as soybean Oil, corn oil, canola oil, sunflower oil, sesame oil, safflower oil and grapeseed oil are highly refined and contain large amounts of omega – 6 and trans-fats are best to be avoided altogether!

Remember to look for organic oils (and cold pressed if applicable!). Keep oils in a cool, dry place to extend their shelf life.
