Content: Culinary argan oil vs. culinary olive oil
For years, olive oil has been lauded for its heart-healthy benefits and delicious taste. Olive oil, made by gently crushing harvested olives in a mill, is loaded with antioxidants, vitamin E, and carotenoids, which lower the risk of eye disease. Some research shows that olive oil lowers risk of cancer, stroke and Alzheimer’s disease. As you might imagine, culinary argan and olive oil have similar benefits. So what’s the difference? Argan oil has a higher amount of omega-3 fatty acids, which makes it more heat resistant for cooking than olive oil, and more vitamin E. Olive oil has a lower smoke point than some oils, which means it’s not suitable for cooking at high temperatures. Argan oil prices
Argan oil is one of the world’s most exclusive oils, thus making it expensive. Like many oils, argan oil is sold by the ounce, typically in bottles between one and 16 ounces. With variations in quality and pricing, argan oil prices can range from $10 to $50. A $10 to $20 bottle of argan oil, if it’s good quality and certified organic, is likely to contain one to four ounces.
