Is it safe to mix cooking oils?
Lifestyle18 min ago

Indian cooking traditions have a diverse range of oils, but as people prioritize health, blending oils has become popular. According to Dt. Amreen Sheikh, blending oils is safe as long as they are not overheated or reused. However, caution should be taken when using different oils for high-heat cooking or deep frying. Rotating oils throughout the week can also offer a wider variety of nutrients.
