For the last few decades, there has been much debate over the use of oil in cooking and especially frying as a cooking method, with a huge push in awareness from the world of medicine after the rise in fatty food related illnesses that came about towards the end of the 20th century. As this awareness prompted many to seek alternative oil sources and combined with the increased demand for even healthier cooking methods, consumers are actively setting out to seek far and wide for these alternatives that naturally offer more beneficial properties for their health.
With this widespread push from the government and health experts to transform the cooking routines of so many individuals across the world, there is little doubt that our choice of cooking oils has now widened to an unparalleled extent that has never been as readily available before. Nations across the world are often famed for their healthier living and dietary choices, from countries across the Mediterranean and their use of olive oil to countries across Asia that use oils derived from nuts and seeds, such as ground nut oil and coconut oil, often a favourite in many Chinese dishes.
Happy Kombucha are a devoted company who specialise in Kombucha, organically grown spores or Scobies that are highly beneficial and packed with pro-biotic goodness, and Kombucha used to make effervescent teas and soft drinks. A spokesperson from Happy Kombucha is keen to get the message across regarding their organic virgin coconut oil...
"The facts are that aside from fats and oils derived from animals and vegetables, which contain higher levels of saturated fats that are what can cause health issues and unwanted weight increases, there are so many more perfectly acceptable oils that are still cost effective and allow you to continue frying foods without placing your health at risk." Adding that, "More awareness is being brought about through various medical institutes regarding the use of oils such as coconut oil, cold pressed to release the beneficial properties found in this flavoursome and healthy nut."
Appearing in shops and supermarkets over the last decade or so, there has been a real boom in the number of different oils that can be purchased to not only add unique flavours to a dish but offer the peace of mind that the consumer is being proactive in sourcing a healthier aspect to their lifestyle. The best coconut oils are those that can be found in their naturally unrefined and unbleached form, as bypassing these aesthetic factors enables the oil to retain its goodness and natural heath properties.
The health benefits really do speak for themselves as different oils carry different organic footprints, with coconut oil being composed of medium chain triglycerides, of which one particular ingredient being lauric acid which works to provide the body with the ability to better preserve a healthy immune system. What's more is that alternative oils such as that derived from the coconut offer far more benefits such as the stimulation of a consumer's metabolism and offering a boost to their energy levels. Either way, when casting an eye over these types of oil it is clear to see the benefits that changing even the small things in your diet can make to your daily lifestyle.
