Staples in my kitchen - Oils


Oil is an essential in any diet. I use olive oil most (extra virgin for low-medium heat cooking), but also:


Sunflower oil, safflower oil, and canola oil are the cheaper than olive oil and can be used at any heat level.


Grapeseed oil and peanut oil for popping corn.


Flax oil. I use to flavor a bake potato or rice (like butter). I sometimes use this as a supplement in smoothies, but I never cook with flax oil.
