Oils are a cornerstone of cooking and nutrition, derived from plant, seed, nut, or animal sources. Common types include olive oil, sunflower oil, canola oil, and coconut oil, each lending unique flavors and properties to cuisines worldwide. Olive oil, rooted in Mediterranean cuisine, is celebrated for its heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and antioxidants. Coconut oil, often used in tropical and Asian dishes, is rich in saturated fats and best consumed in moderation. Vegetable oils like canola and sunflower offer versatility and are high in omega-6 fatty acids, though balance with omega-3s is essential. Moderation is key when using oils, as they are calorie-dense. Unrefined or cold-pressed oils often retain more nutrients, while refined oils have a higher smoke point, making them ideal for high-heat cooking. Choosing high-quality oils and integrating them thoughtfully can support overall health and enhance the flavor of meals.
