How to Choose Thyroid-healthy Cooking Fats & Oils

featured ingredients thyroid-healthy bites

When it comes to choosing healthy cooking fats and oils, there’s a lot to consider:

First, there's the inherent makeup of the oil. Does it contain healthy fats?

Next, we have to consider how it was made. Was it processed using harsh chemicals or high heat?

Once we think we've chosen a healthy oil, we have to consider the smoke point, or maximum recommended cooking temperature for the oil. Is your chosen oil safe for your current cooking method? 

Also, what do terms like refined or unrefined mean, and why do they matter?

And of course, there’s the issue of flavor. Not every dish is complemented by the taste and aroma of coconut, for example.

It can feel overwhelming, but the good news is that all it takes to make good decisions about cooking fats and oils is a little bit of knowledge. This is what we're going to cover in this episode of Thyroid-healthy Bites.
