Cooking With Olive Oil

Olive oil is very resistant to high heat, making it one of the most popular oils for cooking and baking. You can protect the oil’s healthy properties by adding it to foods that do not require a lot of heat because olive oil has a maximum heat rate of 410°. Researchers say 3.5 tablespoons of olive oil is equal to 200mg of Ibuprofen. Keep in mind, however, this same amount of oil also contains 400 calories so moderation is key when it comes to olive oil consumption. A study from Purdue University showed olive oil may be the healthiest addition to salad when it comes to nutrient absorption from the vegetables.

Interestingly, CBD is a lipophilic, meaning it is attracted to fats and is easily absorbed when paired with a fat such as olive oil. That’s why olive oil is an excellent heart-healthy option to pair with CBD.
