About Butter or oil
Butter and oil are widely used cooking fats originating from different culinary traditions. Butter, made by churning cream, is a staple in Western cuisines, especially French and American, offering a rich, creamy flavor. It contains saturated fats, cholesterol, vitamins A and D, and small amounts of calcium. Oil, derived from plants such as olives, sunflower seeds, or avocados, is central to Mediterranean, Asian, and Middle Eastern dishes. Oils vary in composition, but many, like olive oil, are rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and antioxidants. Both butter and oil contribute flavor and texture but differ in health impacts. Butter's saturated fat content is linked to heart risks when consumed excessively. Oils like coconut or avocado are prized for healthier fat profiles, while highly processed oils may lack nutritional benefits. Moderation and selection of high-quality sources are key for incorporating either in a balanced diet.
