Is Mixing Cooking Oils Safe?

Is Mixing Cooking Oils Safe?

Mixing different cooking oils, like sunflower and mustard, is a common practice in Indian cooking.

Some people do this to make their food healthier for their hearts.

A dietitian named Dt.

Amreen Sheikh says it's usually safe to mix oils if you don't heat them too much or use them too many times.

Sunflower oil is light and neutral, while mustard oil has a strong flavor and natural compounds.

As long as you use them carefully, mixing oils can be a good way to enjoy different tastes and health benefits.
