What unexpected products are used to make vegetable oil: you will be surprised

For a long time in our region, oil was mainly used exclusively from sunflower or rapeseed seeds.

For many, these products are still the basic ones, as they cope well with their tasks and are quite tasty when used as salad dressings in unrefined form.

However, the vegetable oil market is so vast that you might be surprised at what vegetable oil can be made from.

What gourmets should know

Watermelon oil

Few people know that vegetable oil is prepared from this juicy and tasty fruit. Of course, you can’t fry or bake on it, but you can use it for dressing.

The taste of the oil is very interesting and specific. However, experts note the high taste qualities of the product.

Truffle oil

Everyone knows that truffles are among the most expensive mushrooms on the planet, which does not scare famous chefs: their signature dishes often include this premium ingredient.

Many will be curious to know that such an expensive mushroom is used to create an also quite expensive vegetable oil.

Also, some manufacturers try to replace the aroma of truffles with flavorings in order to produce a more affordable product.

Chia seed oil

This oil should not be "acquainted" with heat treatment either, but it can become a valuable addition to the diet. Chia seed oil can also be safely called a superfood.
