The best vegetable oil rating. What is the healthiest vegetable oil? Norms of consumption of vegetable oils

What is the healthy oil? Forbes decided to look into this. Vegetable oil is one of the most useful dietary products, which not only improves the taste of food, but also improves human health.
We present to your attention 9 vegetable oils according to Forbes, which are worth paying attention to:

camelina oil

Camelina oil tastes like sesame oil. Some argue that camelina oil has a specific rare taste. Camelina oil contains a large amount of polyunsaturated fatty acids, which protect against atherosclerosis. This is an excellent antioxidant due to the presence of vitamin E in the composition.

pumpkin seed oil

Oil is quite expensive, because it takes about 35 pumpkins to produce 1 liter. In medieval times, pumpkin seed oil was worth its weight in gold and was considered a universal cure for many diseases.
Pumpkin seed oil contains vitamins PP and E, fatty acids (omega-3 and omega-6), antioxidants (bioflavonoids and carotenoids), zinc and selenium (useful for the liver and gallbladder, remove toxins and improve blood composition).

Sesame oil

The first sesame crop was grown specifically to produce sesame oil, which many peoples associated with immortality.
Sesame oil is rich in such trace elements: phosphorus, zinc, calcium (one tablespoon of sesame oil increases the calcium content in the body by 2-3 times). This is a great remedy for premature aging.

Peanut butter

The ancient Incas put peanuts in the grave of the deceased so that his soul would find its way to heaven. Butter from peanuts began to be made only in 1890. The oil contains easily digestible vegetable proteins and fats. This oil is especially popular among fashion models and among people engaged in excessive mental and physical work.

Grape seed oil

In 2008, a study was conducted, as a result of which mice that regularly consumed this oil showed better mental capacity than their normal relatives. Grapeseed oil is especially rich in polyphenols, omega-3s, and antioxidants. Grape seed oil improves skin condition, improves the tone and elasticity of blood and lymphatic vessels. Most useful substances are found in cold-pressed oil (expensive), less in refined oil.

Mustard oil

Mustard oil contains natural antibiotics and is used to treat burns, wounds, and colds. The oil is rich in vitamins A, B6, E, K, PP, omega-3 and choline. Mustard oil strengthens capillaries.

Linseed oil

Flax is one of the oldest agricultural crops. The Egyptians used linseed oil in cosmetology, Hippocrates treated them with burns and pain, as well as inflammation of the stomach. Flaxseed oil is rich in vitamins A, E, F, fatty acids. Linseed oil is 2 times richer than fish in terms of the content of unsaturated fatty acids. Flaxseed oil contains an ideal ratio of omega-3 (60%), omega-6 (20%) and omega-9 (10%). Oil perfectly reduces pressure, has a beneficial effect on vision, diabetes, nervous and cardiovascular systems, improves the condition of hair and skin, and normalizes the functioning of the thyroid gland and kidneys.

Cedar oil

Cedar oil contains 5 times more vitamin E than olive oil. But the most valuable thing in cedar oil is L-arginine. This is an amino acid that normalizes metabolism and promotes weight loss. Also, cedar oil contains pinolenic acid, which promotes the production of hormones that suppress hunger.

walnut oil

The name "walnut" comes from the Greek priests who first began to eat this nut. In terms of nutritional value, walnuts are not inferior to meat, milk, or fish. It is recommended to use walnuts for people with great physical exertion. The oil contains iodine, phosphorus, iron and cobalt. They lower cholesterol levels and speed up lipid metabolism. It also contains a lot of omega-3 and omega-6, vitamins A, B, D, K, E, C, P, PP, zinc, calcium, copper, magnesium, selenium and carotenoids. Walnut oil contains enzymes that enhance men's health.

In spite of common name- vegetable oils - all these products have completely different compositions and properties.

Sunflower oil

Our most popular is sunflower oil. Refined tons go to frying, although some manage to use it for food, fragrant "bazaar" - liters in salads. But few people know that natural raw-pressed sunflower oil resembles olive oil in color - with a greenish tint, and differs significantly from it in composition: it contains vitamin E, which is an antioxidant,

Olive oil

Linseed oil

"Ours" can rightfully be considered unfairly forgotten, but now experiencing a rebirth of linseed oil. Its benefit is in the content of alpha-linolenic (omega-3) fatty acid and vitamin F, which is not synthesized in the body. Modern studies have shown that eating flaxseed oil reduces the risk of stroke by 37%.

Corn oil

Corn oil is obtained from corn cobs, it has no special advantages over sunflower and soybean, but it contains a large amount of useful accompanying substances. Linoleic acid in it up to 50%. Only refined oil goes on sale. It is used in the baking industry, for the preparation of mayonnaise, for dressing salads and frying foods.

Soybean oil

Soybean oil is similar in composition to fish oils - they contain the same polyunsaturated acids. Refined soybean oil tolerates heat easily, so you can cook with it. One thing: most of the soybeans grown are the result of the painstaking work of geneticists, and the debate about the benefits and harms of genetically modified foods is still ongoing.

walnut oil

I would especially like to highlight the delicious nut oil obtained from the kernels of walnuts by cold pressing. Today, nutritionists recognize it as a leader among vegetable oils. But keep in mind - only freshly squeezed unrefined oil has high dietary properties! Walnut oil containing unsaturated fatty acids, vitamins A, E, C, B, zinc, copper, iodine, calcium, magnesium,

Cedar oil

Not inferior to nut oil, and even surpasses it in its usefulness, cedar oil, obtained from the kernels of pine nuts. This oil is more of a medicine than a food product, because it has a high content of fatty acids - linoleic and linolenic - and vitamin E. It has a general strengthening effect, relieves fatigue, and increases efficiency.

Peanut, sesame and canola oils were unfairly considered less useful until they were more thoroughly investigated.

Peanut butter

Peanut butter is obtained from the fruit of the peanut (peanut) and is used more often for frying or salads, but it is especially suitable for making fragrant dough. Its main benefit lies in the presence of resveratrol polyphenol, which has powerful antioxidant and antitumor activity, which helps prevent diabetes mellitus,

Sesame oil

Sesame (sesame) oil is obtained from sesame seeds. The oil is almost odorless and has a pleasant taste, but it does not contain vitamin A and little vitamin E. The oil is used in confectionery, canning and other industries, as well as for technical purposes. A big plus of sesame oil is its high calcium content, one tablespoon is the daily dose.

Rapeseed oil

Doctors isolated a copy of the female sex hormone estradiol, the “readiness to conceive” hormone, from rapeseed. Thanks to this, rapeseed oil is effective for the prevention of cancer, especially breast cancer. Some scientists believe that this is due to the favorable ratio of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. The balance between them in rapeseed oil is 1:2, which is close to ideal.

Palm oil

One of the products that is difficult to do without in the kitchen is vegetable oil. It is indispensable when you need to fry meat, stew vegetables, dress salad. But when buying another jar of oil, have you ever wondered what exactly you are taking? It sounds trite, but you need to buy high-quality oil. How to choose it correctly? What are the types of this product? About this in our article.

Why is it important to include oil in your diet?

Scientists, doctors and nutritionists claim the benefits of vegetable oil. Despite the fact that this product is quite high in calories (107 kcal per tablespoon), it is recommended to use it even for those who are losing weight and people with overweight. Why? Everything is very simple. For balance, a person needs to consume not only proteins and carbohydrates, but also fats. They are "good" and "bad". The latter are found in products of animal origin, and the “good” ones are found in products of plant origin, to which the oil belongs. The body needs to receive both types of fats, but there are much more "good" ones. On average, the daily intake of fat is 80-100 grams, of which at least 30-35 grams should be vegetable oil.
