Guest guest Posted March 13, 2002 Report Share Posted March 13, 2002 I was wondering if coconut oil is ok to deep-fry in. Is there a better alternative? JJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are going to deep fry, coconut oil, palm oil, or tallow are the best choices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 13, 2002 Report Share Posted March 13, 2002 Deep frying doesn't sound like a Nourishing Tradition to me. I have seen cautions about heating any fat.

However, if you are going to deep fry, it should be with one of those three highly saturated fats to minimize the creation of harmful breakdown products. I figure that deep fried food falls into the same category as sweetened desserts: not physically healthy, but life is about pleasure too not just nutrition...
