In every Indian kitchen, cooking oil is an essential part of our daily meals. But have you ever stopped to ask yourself — Is my cooking oil actually healthy? With so many options available in the market — refined oils, cold-pressed oils, blended oils — it can be overwhelming to pick the right one. Choosing the right cooking oil isn’t just about taste; it directly impacts your heart health, digestion, cholesterol levels, and overall wellness.
In this blog, we’ll help you understand how to choose a healthy cooking oil and why Sangam Oil is emerging as a trusted name in pure, chemical-free, and traditionally extracted oils.
What Makes a Cooking Oil Healthy?
Not all oils are created equal. Here are some factors that make an oil healthy:
1. Extraction Method
The process of extracting oil determines its purity and nutritional value. Cold-pressed oils are extracted at low temperatures, retaining natural antioxidants, flavor, and nutrients. Refined oils, on the other hand, go through chemical processing and high heat, which can strip away health benefits.
✅ Choose: Cold-Pressed Oils
❌ Avoid: Highly Refined or Hydrogenated Oils
2. Fat Composition
A good cooking oil should have a balanced ratio of monounsaturated (MUFA), polyunsaturated (PUFA), and saturated fats.
- Mustard Oil – Rich in MUFA and omega-3 fatty acids
- Groundnut Oil – Heart-healthy and high in antioxidants
✅ Choose: Oils with natural good fats
❌ Avoid: Oils high in trans fats or synthetic blends
3. Smoke Point
The smoke point is the temperature at which oil starts breaking down and releasing harmful compounds. Choosing the right oil for your cooking method (deep-frying, sautéing, etc.) is important.
- Mustard Oil has a high smoke point – perfect for Indian cooking
- Groundnut Oil is ideal for frying and roasting
