We have all heard the good fat speeches. Olive oil has become a favorite. It is tasty oil for salad dressings and dipping. However, it has a low smoking point, limiting its usefulness in cooking. Canola oil is another option. It has a higher smoke point than olive oil. But it lacks the full taste.
Try something new.
Macadamia Nut oil! Yummy macadamia nuts produce oil renowned for its high concentration of monounsaturated fats~GOOD FATS. Studies have already proven that eating macadamia nuts can lower both cholesterol and the risk of developing heart disease.
Macadamia nuts produce oil that is also heart healthy. It is up to 85% monounsaturated fat and contains oleic acid. This oleic acid contains an anti-inflammatory property. Throw in that it also contains linolenic, linoleic and palmitoleic acids, a great source of omega-3 and 6, and you have a great reason to start using this oil. Did I mention M.O. also has antioxidants?
M.O.’s very high smoke point (425 degrees Fahrenheit) makes it a great frying oil. It lasts a long long time on the shelf lasting up to 3 years. Yes, it is more expensive. I broke down and bought a bottle. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the flavor!
