Hello, Friends! We know that besides being tasty, real olive oil is abundant in precious ingredients, and its use is an integral part of any healthy diet. The correct consumption is easy and non-committal.
Read below for the main applications, benefits, and healing properties of olive oil.
☑️ For cooking:
Always use extra virgin olive oil (EVOO - Extra Virgin Olive Oils), suitable for all uses (seasoning meats, fish, sauces, salads, cooking up to 216 degrees, frying up to 216 degrees, drinking, swishing, massages, etc.) or the cheaper virgin olive oil (VOO - Virgin Olive Oils) ONLY for frying up to 216 degrees.
For comparison, the smoking (burning) point of olive oil is 216 degrees (1), sunflower oil is 232 degrees, lard is 188 degrees, and standard cooking occurs at around 190 degrees.
⚠️Regardless of the fat you are cooking with, never heat it too much, as once it reaches its smoking point, it becomes carcinogenic and will at least change the taste of the dish. If you accidentally forget the fat on the stove and it starts to smoke, just throw it away. ⚠️
➡ Types of "Olive Oils" - pomace (pomace), salad mix, refined olive oil are undesirable for consumption as they are extracted using high-temperature and chemical methods from olive pomace and pits, which makes them rather harmful. Here, we are not even talking about different quality, but about different content! ❗
☑️ For seasoning: this is the most widespread application of quality olive oil and the most addictive. The wonderful fresh aroma and spicy taste tremendously enrich everything from salads, meats, fish, cheese, beans, and lentils to cakes and desserts.
☑️ For drinking: a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil in the morning on an empty stomach for 20 days, followed by 20 days of rest, is among the most practiced methods for cleansing the liver, "lubricating" the entire digestive tract, and obtaining valuable, beneficial acids, compounds, and vitamins in the most natural form and appropriate combination.
☑️ In cosmetics: hydrates, softens, and heals the skin without burdening it with chemicals and allergens!
☑️ As a remedy: due to its high content of polyphenols (around 72%), squalene, vitamin E, antioxidants, chlorophyll (much more in the fresh and canned version), etc., it helps prevent a number of diseases, some of which are:
Heart attack (1); Coronary heart disease; Stomach ulcer (1); Reduces bad cholesterol (1); Slows down aging of skin, bones, and cells (1); Improves metabolism; Regulates bile secretion (1), and more.
In short, real extra virgin olive oil is one of the tastiest natural remedies. It is no coincidence that it is an integral part of the Mediterranean diet and lifestyle.
