People consume coconut oil in variety of ways, including as cooking oil, as an alternative to butter in baking, and in smoothies. While coconut oil may have health benefits, it is high in saturated fat, and eating too much can be unhealthy.
In this article, we discuss best ways to include coconut oil into your diet and how much may be healthful.
Coconut as cooking oil
Coconut oil, at room temperature remains solid. Its saturated fatty acids keep it stable at elevated temperatures, making it suitable as cooking oil.
However, coconut oil can produce carcinogens after continuous deep frying compared to other cooking oils such as groundnut oil (link groundnut oil to groundnut oil in the shop) and soybean oil. As a result, deep-frying foods in coconut oil should be avoided and oils with higher smoking points, such as groundnut oil (link groundnut oil to groundnut oil in the store) or soybean oils should be used instead.
For uses other than deep frying, substituting conventional cooking oils with coconut oil is a convenient way to integrate more coconut oil into the diet.
Ways to cook with coconut oil include:
- using it when stir-frying vegetables, meat, eggs, or fish
- mixing it into sauces and salad dressings
- coating meat or poultry in coconut oil and spices before baking
Coconut Oil for Baking
Coconut oil can be used to make baked goods, including cookies, cakes, and brownies. Simply substitute melted coconut oil at a ratio of 1:1 for the oil the recipe calls for. To prevent the batter from clumping, allow the milk and eggs to get to room temperature before combining them with coconut oil.
Add it to drinks
Another way to enjoy coconut oil is to add a small amount of about 1-2 teaspoons to beverages, such as coffee, tea, and smoothies.
Tip: When buying coconut oil, be sure to choose pure versions like Bimkaf Virgin Coconut oil (make a link to the coconut oil product) that are intended for human consumption.
Coconut oil contains high quantities of beneficial medium-chain fatty acids, primarily lauric acid. Adding coconut oil to the diet may lead to health benefits. To get the most health benefits of coconut oil while minimizing any adverse effects, stick to 1–2 tbsp of coconut oil per day.
