Recipe: Parsley Pesto
Do you ever find yourself at the grocery store staring at never-ending shelves of oils?
Which one’s the healthiest? Which one’s best for frying? How do I know if this extra virgin olive oil really is EVOO?
Wait, whaaaat? 😱
Yes, you heard us right! Many olive oils (even expensive well known brands) have been tested for purity and failed. Meaning, they claim it’s one of the healthiest of oils, EVOO, but really they are diluting it with inferior oils, leaving it less nutritious and less flavorful.
Well, fear no more! Watch Cara + Megan in Episode 4 as we navigate through the different kinds of oils and discuss:
- Oils to avoid completely
- Best choice of oil for frying Рvs saut̩ing Рvs salad dressings
- Coconut Oil – Refined vs. unrefined and is it really best for Winter?
- Tips to pick out the best EVOO at the market
