How to choose the right cooking oil for your family

The oil you cook with affects both the flavour and the nutritional value of your meals. Here is a simple guide to picking the right oil for your household.

1. Know the different types of oil

Vegetable oil (palm olein) is versatile and neutral in flavour, ideal for deep frying, stews and everyday meals. Famili Pure Vegetable Oil is refined, safe and cholesterol free.

Palm oil is rich in antioxidants and flavour, and essential to soups like egusi and ogbono and to native jollof. Famili Palm Oil is pure, unadulterated and packed for freshness.

2. Look for purity and quality

Choose oils that are refined, bleached and deodorised (RBD) so they are free of impurities. Famili oils are processed in our automated refinery under strict hygiene and quality control: no additives, no cholesterol, heat-stable, and in tamper-proof packs.

3. Consider the nutritional benefits

• Rich in Vitamin E and antioxidants
• Contains monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats
• Trans-fat free

4. Choose the right pack size

• Everyday and single-meal use: 75ml and 150ml sachets, or 1L bottles
• Families: 2.5L, 3.6L or 5L
• Caterers and large households: 10L or 25L jerrycans
• Commercial kitchens and manufacturers: bulk palm olein and stearin
