healthy oils for cooking

Knowing how to cook with oils can be tough if you don't know which ones to use for frying, sauteing or flavoring. Using the right oil also can keep you healthier in the long run. The first step is to smell the oil before you use it, said Janet Little, certified nutritionist for Sprouts Farmers Market, a Phoenix-based produce and specialty grocer. "You would be amazed oil goes rancid, especially if you're using unrefined oil. It should have a clean smell to it. Always smell oils before you use them," Little said. She recommends buying oils in small quantities because they last three to six months
