Introducing Healthy Cooking Oil into my Families Diet

Cooking oil is one staple you will find in just about every kitchen in America. It is makes our food tasty, fry’s things to perfection, and helps us bake goodies to perfection. However, did you know that that when it comes to cooking oils, there is a healthier option out there than the oil you have in your kitchen right now?

Yep, you read that right!

At the beginning of this year, I made a decision to lead a healthier lifestyle. This particularly pertains to my diet, and had carried over into the diets of my family members. This is why I was super excited when I was contacted by momsmeet.com to review Malaysian Palm Oil.

So why was I so excited about this product?

Health Benefits

Jam Packed with Nutrients

Ever used a cooking oil that was good for your immune system, heart, and liver? A cooking oil, that helps reduce your risk of cancer, has the ability to heal damage caused by stroke, and has a neutral effect on high cholesterol?

Malaysian Red Palm Fruit Oil contains high levels of carotene, has more vitamin E than any other cooking oil available today! These nutrients have the ability to help with all of the things previously listed. Also, Malaysian Palm Oil has the ability to help protect your skin against UV damage.

Great for High Temp Cooking

Due to the high smoke point of Malaysian Palm Oil, this cooking oil makes a great choice for grilling, sautéing, baking or frying. The oil does not break down or lose its nutritional value while cooking, making it a great choice in your recipes!

Need some extra inspiration? Try substituting Malaysian Palm Oil for mayonnaise in your pasta or potato salads.

Non-GMO and Trans Fat Free

Have you tried looking for foods that are non-GMO? I am telling you, it is harder than one might think!

Most foods we consume today contain some kind of GMO’s (genetically modified organisms). Yet, we are being told more and more that we need to be limiting the amount of GMO’s that we consume.

Great news!

Not only are you able to purchase Malaysian Palm Oil which is GMO free, but it is also increasingly being used to replace other oils in the foods you buy!

Plus, Malaysian Palm Oil is also trans fat free, which is not something you can say about most cooking oils.

Great for the Environment

Ok guys, this is seriously cool, and probably my favorite quality of this cooking oil!

The palm tree farms from which this oil is derived, are seriously boosting the Malaysian economy. Pulling farmers out of debt, building roads, schools and healthcare locations. I know my cooking oil was not doing any of these things.

Also, the palm tree farms are majorly benefiting local wildlife and contributing to conservation efforts! A fund has been set up by the palm oil industry to support several wildlife sanctuaries in the area. Cool, right?

My New Favorite Cooking Oil in Use

Well, now that I have given you the low down on the benefits of this oil, let’s get to my review!

Popcorn

One thing that my kiddos must have when camping is popcorn! Since I received my sample of Malaysian Palm Oil prior to our latest cabin camping trip, I had to try it out!

I made my popcorn in the microwave using the palm oil, and it was so simple! Once the last kernels finished popping, I pulled the fresh popcorn out and found that the popcorn tasted great straight from the microwave! I did not add butter to this batch, and instead just added a bit of salt and went.

Plus, my kids loved the taste! Healthy and tasty. Doesn’t get better than that!

Asparagus

Once a week at least my family has asparagus with

dinner. Usually, I cut my stalks, toss them with a bit of vegetable oil or butter, and

then add my seasonings and go.

This time, I decided to try the Malaysian Palm Oil in place of my usual oils and I was not disappointed! Our asparagus tasted great, and it had the added benefit of the carotene that comes with the oil.

Even better, my kids were super excited that their asparagus had a slight orange color to it as opposed to its usual green. Made me giggle a bit.

My Opinion

Overall, my family really enjoyed the Malaysian Palm Oil! I loved that it not only tasted great in my favorite recipes, but that it also provides such great health benefits to my family!

A win, win situation in my book!
