About A teaspoon of oil
A teaspoon of oil is a small yet versatile ingredient essential in various cuisines worldwide. Commonly derived from sources such as olives, seeds, nuts, or plants, oils like olive, canola, or sunflower offer unique flavors and nutritional profiles. A teaspoon typically contains around 40 calories, mostly from fats, including heart-healthy unsaturated fats that support cholesterol balance and brain function. Oils like extra-virgin olive oil are rich in antioxidants and vitamin E, promoting cellular health. However, it's important to use oil sparingly as it is calorie-dense, and excessive consumption can contribute to weight gain. Frequently featured in Mediterranean, Asian, and Middle Eastern dishes, a teaspoon of oil is ideal for cooking, dressing salads, or enhancing flavor. Opt for cold-pressed or minimally processed varieties to maximize nutritional benefits while avoiding trans fats or additives found in some refined options.
