Selection of cooking medium depends on three factors. The fatty acid profile of the oil, the micronutrients which come along with it. As per recommendation the preferred cooking. Medium is a monounsaturated fat. As about 15% of visible fat should come from MUFA. Therefore, recommended cooking oils would be groundnut oil, rice bran oil, canola oil,mustard oil, etc. None of the above cooking medium gives a desirable fatty acid profile as most the fats which contain MUFA do not contain appropriate ratios of omega-3 fatty acids. For this reason, it is better to rotate oils while using and also use nuts which contain these fatty acids. By limiting the visible fat content of diet and including oilseeds in the diet the fatty acid profile of the whole diet can be changed.
