I always start my cooking with olive oil on the pan. Its my secret Ingredient next to chopped up garlic and sliced onions for the taste nobody can resist. Using extra virgin olive oil in my cooking makes a difference in the taste and quality of my home cooked meals.
The nutritional benefits of olives and olive oil are directly related to the types of
fatty acid and the significant amounts of anti-oxidants derived from Vitamins E and K.
Not only can a good extra virgin olive oil lower your risk of heart disease and cancer,
research has shown that it also provides a wide range of anti-inflammatory benefits that
can positively impact illnesses such as diabetes, hypertension, arthritis, and asthma.
My favorite olive oil meal is orange chicken. I use real oranges and their juice and slightly dip the chicken in egg and flour for a delicious crispy orange chicken. Yum!! (Compliments plain white rice.)
