Prepper question--Healthiest cooking oil with longest shelf life?

I would guess lard?

I'm nuts about duck fat, but it's so expensive!

10W-40 synthetic has a very long shelf life

Ghee, looong shelf life, very high temp cooking point, no need for refrigeration.
Organic ghee is best.

Grapeseed is good
Ultra filtered olive oil is good too
Avo tends to change flavor over time to me...

Peanut if you’re not allergic, but it’s slightly less healthy than olive oil as a fat

If you got the coin, walnut or sunflower is reaally nice (organic tho!)

...and quite healthy to consume.

Peanut oil is the only oil needed for cooking.

Yes, lard.
Or grass-fed beef tallow.
Palm Oil for popcorn.

Saturated fats are VERY ESSENTIAL for health.
Seed oils are poisonous, except for coconut oil and palm oil

oooh! oooh! Just ordered this one, rendered duck fat, one website said it may last years. ( I [link to www.etsy.com (secure)] have no business relationship with this or any prepper product)

hahah! Good one. You cook with it first and lemme know how it goes.

Not bad

Thanks! Ordering now

Coconut oil

Butter is easy to can. It lasts forever. Bacon (or pork belly) can also be canned and is a good long-term fat supply.

Olive mmmmmh

Olive in my pizza! and sausage!


Sausage beats pepperoni any day!

PIZZA... IS SAUSAGE!

when u bite into a slice of good pizza. That's sausage you're tasting!

This!

No plain oil has a good shelf life as all fat goes rancid by one year. Our ancestors used it up instead and had livestock and ate porcupine and geese when hunting. Most game is very lean. Some cold water fish are high in fat. Too much overloads digestion and gives you sterorhea.

Some dingdong will discuss pemmican, but they don't realize while pemmican can last long, it is technically rancid after a year.

A biochemist could tell you which are essential lipids absolutely required for proper nutrition. This is a major topic in nutritional diseases for infants and children. Kids won't have proper development without lipids.

In history, rapeseed was planted to bust up clay so proper drainage would occur and thus better watering. So they would press canola. That is probably better for oil lanterns for illumination.

Their main fat was regular lard and pearl lard. Some of the regular lard went into tallow for candles or soapmaking. Some lard is mighty strong tasting. You use leaf/pearl lard for baking pastry or piecrust. They used up bacon grease to boost calories.

About five years ago, people started adding a little butter to coffee and sweetening it as the brain is comprised of lipids and needs glucose as fuel. It supposed to help with brain fog is improve mental clarity.

coconut oil
palm oil
olive oil

Olive is best in salads!

I've read that whole flax seed can last up to 7 years before being pressed into oil.

Coconut oil is mighty handy as if you have it on hand, you can mix it with cocoa and a liquid sweetener like maple or birch syrup and make chocolate candy.

Coconut oil is a natural germicidal and is painless when applied so sure would treat a troubling wound. Plus it pull stains from teeth and then sharply reduces mouth irritation from bleeding gums. It will kill that bacteria and Strep mutants can deposit on heart valves so dental care and heart disease are entwined.

Thanks, Kate! Great article, which reminded me I already have some canned butter in my prep pantry. I had thought palm oil was toxic, but I was wrong? Shocker!

Get an oil press and then you won’t need to worry about shelf life.

Thanks! I appreciate smart people like you.

Love coconut oil. But, as I mentioned, 6 month shelf life.

Flaxseed oil is supposed to be very supportive for female health so an excellent supplement for sure and moms. When buying it, get the refrigerated kind.

Oils are not good for lubricants during coitus. You are supposed to use a water based product.

For skin care, plain fresh refrigerated aloe vera is what many plastic surgeons suggest to accelerate healing.

It sounds silly, but to care for the hair and melt sebum, you apply apple cider vinegar with the mother in it and olive oil. That actually is a Hollywood trick to support hai quality. Sounds like a vinagerette!

I prefer olive oil, but you don’t have to use oil.

Replace the oil in sautéing with a small amount of vegetable broth, water or wine. Heat the skillet first, and then add a small amount of liquid, about a tablespoon to start with, depending on how much you are cooking. Stir often to prevent sticking and to cook evenly.
