At Betty's Bowls, our philosophy is centered on offering food that is not only delicious and nutritionally rich but also genuinely healthy. For this reason, we have made the conscious decision to exclude vegetable oils from all our preparations, a stance that sets us apart in our mission to promote a healthy lifestyle.
Why Do We Say No to Vegetable Oils?
Vegetable oils, although widely used in the food industry, present several health risks that cannot be ignored. Studies have linked the excessive consumption of certain vegetable oils rich in omega-6 fatty acids and processed with:
Chronic Inflammation: A risk factor for many chronic diseases, including heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain types of cancer.
Imbalance in the Omega-6/Omega-3 Ratio: Essential for cardiovascular health, an excess of omega-6 can alter this critical balance, promoting the onset of diseases.
Oxidative Stress: Some vegetable oils are prone to oxidation due to their high unsaturation, which can generate harmful free radicals for cells.
Our Healthy Alternative
At Betty's Bowls, we opt for cooking and preparation methods that not only avoid the use of vegetable oils but also enhance the nutritional profile of our ingredients. This includes:
Low-Temperature Cooking: To preserve essential nutrients and avoid the formation of harmful compounds.
Use of Fresh and Natural Ingredients: That do not require the use of oils for their preparation, thus maintaining the integrity of their flavors and health benefits.
Healthy Alternatives: In cases where texture or flavor requires it, we use small amounts of cold-pressed oils, such as extra virgin olive oil or coconut oil, known for their beneficial properties.
