With so many cooking oils available on the market today, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Should you go for sunflower oil or sesame oil? Is canola oil a healthier choice? Or is peanut oil still the king of the kitchen? If you’ve ever found yourself standing in the kitchen or at the market wondering which oil to use, you’re not alone.
Each type of oil has its own unique flavor, smoke point, and health benefits:
Sunflower Oil– Light in flavor and rich in Vitamin E, sunflower oil is perfect for deep-frying and high-heat cooking.
Canola Oil – Known for its neutral taste and heart-healthy fats, canola oil is often used for baking and stir-frying.
Sesame Oil – With its strong nutty aroma, sesame oil shines in dressings, sauces, and finishing touches in Asian dishes. And don't forget, this oil is totally keto diet friendly.
Peanut Oil – Loved for its high smoke point and subtle nutty flavor, peanut oil is ideal for frying, sautéing, and bringing out the best in traditional Burmese recipes.
So which one should you choose?
It depends on what you're cooking but when it comes to Burmese cuisine, the most versatile one is peanut oil. It adds the right aroma, enhances flavor, and is perfect for everything from mont-hinga, peanut oil over rice (Hta min see sam) to deep-fried snacks.
And whenever you want peanut oil, don’t forget "Asia Thar" your trusted peanut oil seller since 1995.
