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
  • Topical use: commonly used in skincare for a lightweight feel

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.
