HOW TO ENJOY IT ON KETO
- Zero net carbs: pure fat fits ketogenic macros
- Refined versions have a higher smoke point (~420°F / 216°C)
- Neutral flavor won’t overpower recipes
- Widely available and budget-friendly
- Useful when a clean-tasting oil is needed
- Works if total omega-6 intake is managed
HEALTH BENEFITS
- Provides vitamin E (tocopherols) and plant sterols
- Contains polyunsaturated fats (linoleic acid)
- Neutral taste can help increase veggie intake in salads and sautés
- May support cardiovascular goals when replacing refined carbs (context-dependent)
- Light texture suitable for infusions and dressings

PREPARATION SUGGESTIONS
MODERATE-HEAT COOKING
Sauté vegetables or proteins at medium to medium-high heat when you need a neutral oil.
SALAD DRESSING
Whisk with vinegar, lemon, and herbs for a clean vinaigrette; optionally blend with olive oil.
PAN-SEARING
Sear fish or chicken when you don’t want olive oil’s flavor to dominate.
ROASTING
Toss low-carb vegetables and roast; avoid excessive temperatures to limit oxidation.
STIR-FRYING
Quick stir-fries with keto veggies and protein where a neutral base is preferred.
OCCASIONAL USE
Reserve for recipes that truly benefit from neutrality or higher heat.
