Can I use Maslyany Korol hemp oil for frying or high-heat cooking?

Do not use this oil for frying, sautéing, or baking at high temperatures. Maslyany Korol is a cold-pressed, unrefined oil rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids. These delicate compounds degrade quickly when exposed to high heat, which can destroy the beneficial nutrients and potentially create harmful compounds. Additionally, the oil has a low smoke point, meaning it will start to smoke and burn at relatively low cooking temperatures, imparting a bitter taste to your food.

Instead, reserve this oil for cold applications where its mild nutty and slightly peppery flavor can shine. It is ideal for:

  • Stirring into salad dressings and vinaigrettes.
  • Drizzling over cooked vegetables, grains, or soups after they have been removed from heat.
  • Adding to dips, spreads, or cold sauces.
  • Enhancing the flavor of smoothies or oatmeal.

If you need an oil for frying, choose a refined oil with a higher smoke point, such as sunflower, rapeseed, or olive oil, and use the hemp oil as a finishing touch to add nutritional value and flavor.
