what is the best and healthiest oil to fry in?
Olive oil is considered one of the healthiest cooking oils, but it is not at all suitable for deep frying, the smoke point is quite low, about 320-330 F. Peanut oil comes next on the list of healthiest oils for deep frying, being high in an anti oxidant called resveratrol, which is good for heart health. The rich nutty taste and smoke point of about 471 F wins more points in favor of this oil as a medium for deep frying.
