3 Mistakes When Using Olive Oil

By Katie Onson


Olive oil is, without question, one of the best products that can be brought into anyone's diet. I am sure that most others can say the same, especially when you see just how much this particular oil has to offer by comparison to others. Everything from antioxidants to essential vitamins will be focused on, as you may imagine. However, a product like this should be used with care, which is why this list of 3 precautionary measures should be focused on.

Yahoo! Health posted a piece that talked about olive oil and the mistakes people typically make with it. The inclusion of "light" oil is just one of these ideas and it's clear to see that many people insist on using it because of a supposed lack of calories. However, this type of product actually contains about the same number of calories as alternatives. This may be just one mistake, when it comes to the oil in question, but it's clear that it is one of the most noteworthy.

Let's say that you typically leave your cooking oil close to the stove for easy access. This is an especially big problem with olive oil, since its healthful components may be stripped away due to prolonged exposure to heat and light alike. In order to avoid this sapping of said components, make it a point to keep your bottle of oil in a cool, dark area of your house. Ideally, you may be wise to keep the bottle itself in a cellar for easy access later on.

Finally, try to avoid purchasing olive oil in high quantities at a single time. The reason for this is because most oils, depending on when they're harvested, will only last for a couple of years when the bottles are sealed. You do not want these products to go bad before you have a chance to use them, which is why it's vital to remain frugal. Even if you believe that a sale is calling your name, being mindful about how much oil you actually use can help you save money and enjoy the oil in question that much more.

These are just a few points to consider if you want to go about using this product in the long term. No one can argue with the fact that this type of oil is one of the best, whether it's in relation to cooking or the preparation of food in general. Of course, there are some ways in which it can be used better than others, which should be recognized. Keep the aforementioned points in mind that the longevity of your oil will stand to be that much greater.
