According to Zhongke Oil, there are five reasons why people should cook with this oil:
- Fat Content
Fatty acids are the main components of the oil, including monounsaturated fatty acids, polyunsaturated fatty acids, and saturated fatty acids. The higher the monounsaturated fatty acid content, the better the quality.
- The Smoke Point
It is well-known that Chinese people prefer frying, deep-frying, stir-frying, and pan-frying, all of which require high oil temperatures. Ordinary cooking oil only reaches about 180 degrees, which continues reacting after the smoke point is reached. This also results in carcinogen benzopyrene – a potential cancer-causing agent in humans.
- Genetic Modification
As we all know, it is highly recommended humans use as few genetically-modified ingredients as possible. This is why choosing Zhongke Oil is the best option, because it doesn’t contain any GMOs! The raw material is a new variety of high-oleic rapeseed and Zhongke Oil, and Shaanxi Hybrid Rapeseed Research Centre jointly develop the oil. This means it is pure and healthy, and they have the non-GMO test report to prove it!
- Production Process
It’s good to always make sure the oil is processed via physical pressing. Many oil production processes use chemical leaching, which makes the oil yield 5-10% higher. Though chemical leaching is a safe manufacturing process in theory, it often still contains chemical leaching residues.
- Quality, Quality, Quality!
You’re probably thinking, “How should I know what the quality of the oil is?” Well, as with any food, you can check the smell and colour. The more transparent the oil, the higher the purity and quality. High-quality oil is also scientifically pressed and refined. It smells like raw material, and it has no peculiar smell.
You’ll notice when you purchase Zhongke Oil that it is pure and transparent, has a clear taste, is non-greasy, and most importantly, restores and enhances the yumminess of the ingredients you’re cooking it with.
