May 14 | Cooking with Essential Fatty Acids
- Extra virgin olive oil (cold-pressed) is best to use as your cooking oil because it withstands high heat well.
- Using flaxseed or extra virgin olive oil on salads in the place of other oils is a healthier choice.
- High heat, light and oxygen will destroy Essential Fatty Acids. When eating food for their EFA content, avoid cooking or heating these EFAs foods.
Replace margarine, butter and common cooking oils with healthy EFA fats when possible. Replacement options include flaxseed or extra virgin olive oil with a little added salt.
