Olive Oil & 3 Wrong Ways To Utilize It

By Katie Onson


I think it should be noted that olive oil, in general, is one of the healthiest points of discussion to focus on. Very few can argue with such a point, especially when given the fact that this product is loaded with antioxidants and nutrients alike. In comparison to other cooking and culinary oils, this is a standout. Of course, there are ways in which it can be misused. To better understand what this topic entails, here are 3 common mistakes made with the oil in question.

Yahoo! Health put forth an article on the matter and one of the missteps mentioned was the purchase of "light" olive oil. According to said article, the main reason why this oil has been invested in has been because of the need to reduce calories. What consumers may not know, though, is that this oil contains about the same number of calories as alternatives. In fact, the "light" tag is not so much in reference to calories but instead the appearance and flavor it possesses.

As far as other mistakes with olive oil are concerned, it's important to look at how this product may be kept near the stove. The reason why this is a problem is because said oil is extremely sensitive to heat and light. What this means, more simply, is that its natural benefits will be stripped away in due time. If you want to ensure that this product lasts as long as possible, keep the oil itself in a cool area where light isn't as prominent, such as a pantry.

Finally, try to avoid purchasing olive oil in high quantities at a single time. The reason for this is because most oils, depending on when they're harvested, will only last for a couple of years when the bottles are sealed. You do not want these products to go bad before you have a chance to use them, which is why it's vital to remain frugal. Even if you believe that a sale is calling your name, being mindful about how much oil you actually use can help you save money and enjoy the oil in question that much more.

It's easy to see why so many people take it upon themselves to invest in the aforementioned oil. In fact, I believe that most will agree with the fact that this product is one of the healthiest when it comes to food in general. To make the most out of this as possible, though, you must understand that certain mistakes may be made along the way. These can be avoided with the right level of awareness, though, so focus on points like the ones mentioned earlier for the future.
