The average oleic acid content of Camellia oil is even higher than that of olive oil, and the ratio of linoleic acid to linolenic acid is more in line with the international nutritional standards of the "Omega diet". Moreover, the vitamin E content of Camellia oil is twice that of olive oil, and it also contains squalene and flavonoids, which have excellent effects on anti-cancer and anti-inflammation.
Camellia oil has a lower smoke point, making it more suitable for stir-frying, frying, and baking.
The smoke point of Camellia oil is 200-215°C, while that of general cooking oil is only about 100°C. This way, when using Camellia oil for high-temperature stir-frying, very little smoke fog is produced, it won't produce pungent smoke, and the smoke won't condense and adhere to the kitchen walls.
The Omega-3 essential fatty acid content in Camellia oil is higher, making it more suitable for
postpartum confinement, lactating mothers, and infants.
Camellia oil helps with postpartum recovery and conditioning for mothers. In Taiwan, it is called "Childbirth Oil" or "Confinement Treasure". In folklore, it is also called "Nourishing Cream" or "Longevity Oil". Currently, 80% of women in our country become obese after childbirth, and 20% of them remain permanently obese.
If you want to avoid gaining weight, you should start eating Camellia oil from the beginning of your pregnancy, and you can also eat Camellia oil stewed with crucian carp. This is because the oleic acid content in Camellia oil is higher than that in olive oil. Oleic acid can lower total blood cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol without reducing the beneficial high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Common cooking oils, after being absorbed, partially accumulate in the body and are converted into fat, leading to obesity.
Beauty and skincare effects: Whatever olive oil has, Camellia oil has too.
Camellia oil also has benefits that olive oil does not have: for example, it can resist ultraviolet light, prevent sun spots, and reduce wrinkles. Yunnan is a famous tea-producing area, and local women often use Camellia oil for combing their hair, applying it to their face, and washing their hair with tea seeds. Therefore, in this high-altitude region with strong ultraviolet light, it's strange that the local women's skin can remain fair and tender, while the skin of women in neighboring Tibet is rough and coarse.
Mix one milliliter of Peach Kernel oil, ten drops of Camellia oil, and five drops of Lavender oil, then apply to the face for a significant therapeutic effect on acne. This is because Camellia oil has antibacterial and immune-boosting properties, while lavender has anti-inflammatory and pore-shrinking effects. In addition, it is also very effective against chloasma and sun spots.
