RE: How to get healthier right now? ~ Baby steps for an optimum health! ~ Your body will thank you!
Hello @escher99! indeed a question with multiple answers, I really get you. Yes, I mentioned and I truly believe we must avoid fries. But I'm not saying you can't have some, occasionally. It's all about the balance. Do 1 frie recipe to 6 non-frie recipes, for example. It counts when you try avoiding them and dont have fries every day or everymeal. The olive oil has a 'burning point or smoke point' much higher that other vegetable oils. Thats why it's better to use it. Do some research on the interent about 'smoke point of oils' and maybe you'll find some answers you didnt had before:) Hope I answered your question. If not, just leave a comment and I'll try to give you other informations:) Keep taking care of your health:)
Thank you for your kind reply. I still have a remainder question.
Olive oil have variety of them such as extra virgin , virgin, pomas, pure?, etc
I know refined olive oil have a fairly high smoking point which is suitable for frying.
But, But what about extra virgn olive oil?
When i see some chef do cooking guide in youtube video, they just use extra virgin olive oil, and believe me i have read so much article about 'never use extra virgin olive oil for other than dressing.'
So i have to change my question slightly, 'is extra virgin olive oil which have quite low smoke point is somehow suitable frying as such some chef demonstrates?'
Honestly, I didnt do to much research on this topic (which type of olive oil should I use). But, I did some research on my own now (and I'm glad I did) on many websites (also some good sources websites with standardes and international informations about foods and stuff, medical journales) and I came across this info, that Virgin Olive Oil or Extra Light Olive Oil have a Smoke Point higher than Extra Virgin Olive Oil (390 - 468°F than extra virgin olive oil which has 350 - 410°F) thats why is better to use for frying. I cant find yet an explination of why is that and the chemistry behind it....Still reading and learning! I'm sorry I cant answer properly your question. I'll do my research though and when I found something new I'll write you. So, Yes. Tough question.
Oh, I didn't know that Extra Light Olive Oil have a Smoke Point higher than Extra Virgin Olive Oil . Will Have to order some, to use now (☻thanx a bundle)
