About One tablespoon oil
One tablespoon of oil serves as a versatile ingredient, offering 120 calories and roughly 14 grams of fat, depending on the type of oil. Common oils include olive, vegetable, coconut, or sesame, each carrying distinct flavors and nutritional profiles. Olive oil, a staple of Mediterranean cuisine, is praised for its heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and antioxidants, while oils like coconut or sesame add unique character to Asian-inspired dishes. Most oils are purely fat, with no protein or carbohydrates, making them an excellent energy source but calorie-dense. Unsaturated fats, found in oils like olive and avocado, support heart health and may improve cholesterol levels, whereas saturated fats, like those in coconut oil, should be consumed in moderation. Oils can also enhance nutrient absorption from vegetables. While integral to countless cuisines, portion control is essential to maintain balance, as overuse can contribute to weight gain and excessive calorie intake.
