Which Oil should I use?
- High quality extra virgin cold pressed olive oil will have health benefits and give it more of a savory flavor. How to choose an olive oil. Health benefits of Olive Oil. I purchase a high polyphenol count olive oil from Herban Market in Franklin, TN. Herban Market oils have polyphenol counts from 300+ into the 600+, they are fresh and their sources are identified. As a comparison, the Kirkland Olive oil (you know the giant bottle you buy at the big box store) was tested with a polyphenol count of only 40...and it was the highest of all the grocery store brands.
- Extra Virgin Unrefined Coconut Oil will give it a coconut-y slightly sweet flavor and also have health benefits. How to choose Coconut Oil.
- Cold Pressed Grape Seed oil will not add any flavor.
