These oils are not meant for cooking. Here’s what you should be doing instead

Better Alternatives for Cooking

For sautéing, frying, or roasting, use oils that are stable at high temperatures:

• Avocado oil
• Refined coconut oil
• Ghee or clarified butter
• Light or refined olive oil
• Peanut oil

These oils can handle higher heat without breaking down, making them ideal for most cooking methods.

Final Thoughts

While oils like flaxseed, walnut, and hemp are nutritional powerhouses, they aren’t meant for cooking. Treat them as finishing oils or salad dressings to enjoy their health benefits and rich flavors. By pairing delicate oils with heat-stable cooking oils and using them wisely, you can enhance both the taste and nutritional value of your meals.
