DID YOU KNOW?

  • Soybean oil has several better-for-you health benefits that make it the perfect choice for family cooking:
    • Contains 0g trans fats per serving
    • Serves as a principal source of omega-3s which can help reduce blood pressure and prevent heart disease
    • Great source of vitamin E which prevents cell damage that may lead to diseases such as cancer and heart disease
    • Contains unsaturated fats and when it replaces saturated fats, it may lower cholesterol levels

Soybean oil has little flavor, which is an advantage because it won’t  interfere with the taste of the food.  (Many oils sold as “vegetable oil”
are actually soybean oil.)  With new school year in full swing and the upcoming holiday season around the corner, soybean oil can be a beneficial resource for weeknight meals or holiday dishes.

In the Hispanic culture, cooking is synonymous with the culture and lifestyle.  Especially when many Hispanic recipes call for oil to be used as one of the main cooking ingredients.

According to the National Alliance for Hispanic Health, heart and circulatory system diseases, including stroke, make up 36 percent of all deaths each year in the United States. In fact, more than eight percent of Hispanics, age 18 and
older, have heart disease.

“Oil is a base in many traditional Latino dishes and using soybean oil ensures families won’t have to sacrifice tradition and taste,” Cecilia Pozo Fileti, RD, commented for the United Soybean Board. “Checking the label on your vegetable oil for soy will confirm you’re making a smart cooking decision. It’s easy advice that’s worth sharing with family and friends.”
