Matters needing attention in purchasing edible oil

The choice of edible oil depends on the grade of edible oil. According to the relevant national standards, edible oil is divided into grade one, grade two, grade three and grade four according to the refining degree. Many people think that the higher the grade, the higher the quality of oil, which is wrong.

First-class oil and second-class oil are highly refined, with the characteristics of less impurities, high purity, light color and no oil smoke when cooking, and are suitable for frying and frying. The disadvantage is that excessive refining leads to the loss of nutrients in the oil, such as carotene and vitamin E.

The third-grade oil and the fourth-grade oil have the characteristics of low refining degree, many impurities, dark color and large oil smoke during cooking, which are more suitable for low-temperature cooking. Although there are many shortcomings, it retains the nutrients to the greatest extent.

No matter whether it is the first-grade oil or the fourth-grade oil, as long as it meets the national standards, it can be eaten normally, and the nutritional components are similar, but it is suitable for different cooking methods, and everyone can choose according to their own needs.
