The secret science of blended oils: what’s really happening inside your cooking oil?

 

Why Talk About Oil Blending?

Every oil has a different profile – in taste, smoke point, and type of fat. Some are light and neutral. Others are full of flavor. Some have high saturated fat, while others are packed with heart-friendly MUFA or PUFA.

Oil blending brings the best of all worlds. It gives your body a better balance of fats, and it suits the needs of different cooking styles in Indian kitchens.

 

The Science Behind Blending 

Blending is not just mixing. It’s a careful science:

– Ensures a good fatty acid profile

– Improves stability for frying and cooking

– Enhances nutrition and taste

 

A smart blend usually includes:

– MUFA-rich oils like mustard or groundnut oil

– PUFA-rich oils like sunflower or soybean oil

– Rice bran oil contains natural oryzanol, which is known to support cholesterol management as part of a balanced diet .

– Rice Bran Oil-adds oryzanol and improves stability

This blend keeps saturated fat within FSSAI’s healthy range, and provides a complete fat profile for daily Indian cooking.

 

What About Ghee, Coconut Oil, and Butter?

We believe traditional fats like ghee, coconut oil, and butter have a place in our kitchens – for flavor, rituals, and occasional use.

Blended oils are not a replacement, but a daily base for cooking that helps reduce overall saturated fat while keeping nutrition intact.
