Cooking Oils in Nigeria: What's Good, What's Not, and What's Actually Worth Buying

Adding oil to your meals does not only impact flavour and aesthetics, it also significantly impact our overall health. Discussions around the right type of cooking oils have become one of the most confusing parts of healthy eating, especially with so many options and conflicting information available today.

In this practical session, Dr.Titilayo Kayode-Alabi breaks down the common cooking oils used in Nigerian homes, what they contain, what to watch out for, and how to make healthier, realistic choices without fear or unnecessary extremes. In the latter part of the discussion, we had an insightful discussion with Mrs Olubukola Olukotun, an entrepreneur who has used locally made Peanut oil since childhood.

This session is perfect for anyone interested in improving their health through better food and lifestyle choices.
