Guest guest Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Melody, I typically do not fry with Olive oil so don't buy the refined type, but I would think you should be able to get in various grocery stores alongside the extra virgin oils and other lesser refined oils, or possibly in a specialty market. However, I wouldn't think it would be that hard to find. Here is an interesting article about cooking with olive oil as well as other oils. . . http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=george <http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=george & dbid=56> & dbid=56 Thea From: sproutpeople [mailto:sproutpeople ] On Behalf Of Melody Sent: Friday, March 25, 2011 4:03 PM To: sproutpeople Subject: Re: Fw: Growing Carrot Sprouts/Rying with Olive Oil And where does one buy refined Olive Oil?

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Thanks, Tina - I'll wear it proudly, LOL! (or maybe, I should say, post it in my 'gold star' book proudly - not quite sure what they do with gold stars these days!)

Gold star goes to Thea! Tina > > Actually, (butting in here, hope it's ok), my understanding is that if you use olive oil for high-heat cooking, you need to use refined olive oil, not the cold pressed virgin or extra virgin olive oil as the latter will begin to smoke, signifying a breakdown of the oil and even possibly then rending it with carcinogenic properties. This is something I recently learned at a healthy eating class. So, I guess it's not to say that you shouldn't fry with olive oil, but it needs to be with the more refined version. Interesting topic and certainly one I'm open to hearing more about. > > > > Thea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Thea: I usually use the Red Carotino oil, but because I have a bottle of extra virgin coconut oil, I'm going to start using that. In the oil aisle in the supermarket, does refined Olive Oil SAY refined olive oil?

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 I'm not sure what the olive oil bottle should say but what it should *not* say is extra virgin or cold pressed or extra extra virgin as none of these are refined. So conversely, yes, I would certainly think it would indicate that it is refined on the label. Thea From: sproutpeople [mailto:sproutpeople ] On Behalf Of eliz7212@...

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Thea: I have seen bottles of oil (in my local supermarket) that said " POMACE OIL " . I had never heard of this kind of oil. So I went online earlier (after reading all these postings), and I googled various types of oils and one of the pieces of information was that Pomace Oil is not fit for human consumption. How the heck can this be?

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 The best oil for frying is peanut oil, it has a great flavor. My ex and best friend is Italian and he only uses olive oil for salad dressings, not cooking unless he was mixing it into a sauce. He did fry using olive oil when nothing else was in the house, but that was for light frying of eggplant. Typically you don't want to fry with olive oil as it will burn at high temps. I buy kukui and castor oil from mountainrose http://www.mountainroseherbs.com/bulkoil/bulkoil.html they have some good information on oil quality/nutritional value maybe you'll find it useful. -Toni > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > =========================================== > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Hi Toni, > > > > > > > > > I sprout 3 tablespoons of either straight broccoli or a mixture of > > > > > broccoli > > > >and one or two other things.ÃÆ'‚Â Right now, we are eating 1 TB broccoli, 1 > > > >TB > > > >Kate, 1 TB mustard.Odd mix, but I really like it.If you google broccoli > > > >sprouts > > > >and health benefits, you will be amazed at how good they are for you.My > > > >Mom, > > > >also named n, died of colon cancer and my Dad of leukemia, so I not > > > >only > > > >eat broccoli sprouts myself, I buy broccoli seeds for friends and > > > >relatives.Even > > > >if you have or get cancer, it can only help! marion > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
