Olive Oil – Olive oils is a popular choice in many households and is great to sauté or roast vegetables. Olive oil is known for its anti-inflammatory properties and its heart-healthy fats, plus antioxidants. Use extra virgin for dressings and the virgin kind for frying.

Avocado Oil – Avocados are a super food and avocado oil has now been added to many beauty products. For dressings and marinades, avocado oil is a good choice. It is packed with vitamin E and high in monounsaturated fat.

Ghee – Ghee is made by removing milk solids. It is similar to butter and very flavorful. Use it to fry eggs and other proteins. Ghee is a good source of omega-3 fatty acids vitamin A and D.

Coconut Oil – If you get online and do some web shopping, coconut oil will be in most beauty products and health foods. If your not a fan of the intense coconut flavor, opt for the refined variety. You can also use it to remove your make-up, condition your hair and as a skin moisturizer.
