Why can camellia oil be called "the king of oil"?

Camellia oil (also known as wild camellia oil, camellia seed oil and camellia oleifera)

Tea oil contains no erucic acid and cholesterol. According to the test, the unsaturated fatty acids in tea oil are as high as 90%, oleic acid is 80%~83%, linoleic acid is 7%~ 13%, and it is rich in protein and vitamins A, B, D and E, etc. In particular, it contains rich linolenic acid which is necessary for human body and cannot be synthesized.

It is confirmed by modern science that the fatty acid composition of tea oil is very similar to that of olive oil, but its average composition is higher than that of olive oil. Studies have shown that the composition of tea oil is similar to olive oil, but the dual therapeutic effect of tea oil is actually better than olive oil. Unsaturated fatty acids in olive oil reach 75~90%, while unsaturated fatty acids in tea oil reach 85~97%, which is the highest among all kinds of edible oils.

Compared with other edible oils, the contents of monounsaturated fatty acids and oleic acid in camellia oil are the highest among all vegetable oils, while the contents of other saturated fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids are quite small. We know that the content of saturated fatty acids in edible oil is high, which is easy to cause hyperlipidemia and cardiovascular diseases. However, the imbalance of ω-3 and ω-6 in polyunsaturated fatty acids will cause various diseases and sub-health. Camellia oil has a unique composition advantage, which is irreplaceable by other edible oils.

Among many edible oils, tea oil and olive oil are both called "kings of oils", mainly because their fatty acid composition is very similar, and the monounsaturated fatty acid content is much higher than other edible oils, so they become the first choice for high-quality living families.

Although there are many similarities between tea oil and olive oil, there are still differences in some aspects. First, they grow in different environments. The processing raw material of tea oil is taken from wild camellia fruit in virgin forest, which is far away from the pollution source of "three wastes" in the city and is not polluted by chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Therefore, the oil extracted from its seeds does not contain aflatoxin, erucic acid, saponin and gossypol harmful to human body, so it is a pure natural organic food. Olive oil comes from the fruit of cultivated olive trees. Tea oil is a unique edible oil in China, and its output is extremely limited. Olive oil is a daily edible oil for people along the Mediterranean coast.

Secondly, when other plants are fried to 120℃, harmful substances such as benzopyrene will be produced; The smoke point of tea oil is very high, so it is not easy to produce lampblack, and it will not produce harmful substances when fried to 150℃. Therefore, tea oil is also suitable for frying and cooking food, which is more in line with the eating habits of consumers in China. Tea oil can also be used to make cold dishes, while olive oil is generally only used for cold dishes.

Furthermore, tea oil is rich in vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E and antioxidant substances such as tea polyphenols, squalene and tea saponin that olive oil does not have. Among them, tea saponin has cardiotonic effect, tea saponin has thrombolytic effect, and tea polyphenols have the effects of lowering cholesterol and preventing tumors, so tea oil can also be called "longevity oil".

Tea oil can also clear away heat, reduce fire, sterilize and detoxify. The content of monounsaturated fatty acids in tea oil is slightly higher than that in olive oil (78.6% in tea oil and 72.3% in olive oil). Even more amazing is that the ratio of linolenic acid to linoleic acid in tea oil is the most reasonable.

Tea oil is widely distributed in China, but its output is very limited. Since the Han dynasty, it has been given the title of royal court edible oil, which can only be enjoyed by a few nobles with status. Therefore, tea oil has not been widely known for thousands of years. In addition, due to China's eating habits and other reasons, few people often eat tea oil; On the other hand, due to the long-term consumption of people along the Mediterranean coast, olive oil has formed a unique dietary pattern in the Mediterranean, which has attracted early attention.

Although the price of tea oil in the domestic market is only half that of olive oil of the same grade at present, the price of tea oil in the world is much higher than that of olive oil, which is of course due to advertising, but there are also people's cognitive and psychological factors. One thing is certain, tea oil and olive oil are high-quality healthy edible oils. As Dr. Simopoulos, President of the White House Nutrition Association, said, tea oil is the best edible oil ever discovered by human beings.

Camellia oil is a unique natural edible vegetable oil in China. Tea trees grow on the mountains, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth all year round from flowering to fruiting. Therefore, the extracted camellia oil is golden in color, pure in quality, clear and transparent, fragrant in smell, pure in taste, green and environmentally friendly, and is deeply loved by people. It is the king of rare oils, so what special functions and effects does camellia oil have?

One.

Pregnant women breastfeed and promote development. Eating tea oil during pregnancy can increase breast milk, which is beneficial to the normal development of the fetus. In addition, camellia oil is also called "moon oil". There are many benefits for pregnant women to eat camellia oil, such as reducing postpartum stretch marks, not getting fat, increasing breast milk, clearing away heat and reducing fire.

Two.

Tea oil can promote digestion and enhance the absorption function of the stomach. In rural families, children are generally given camellia oil, especially infants. Edible camellia oil can invigorate qi, relieve constipation, reduce fire, help digestion and promote the growth of bones and ilium.

Three.

The use of tea oil can delay aging and prevent senile diseases. Eating wild camellia oil for the elderly can clear away fire, improve eyesight, blacken hair, delay aging, lower human serum cholesterol, lower plasma fibrin and blood lipid, and has a good effect on hypertension, arteriosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases.

Four.

Camellia oil can also be used for skin care and beauty. Camellia oil can resist ultraviolet rays, can be used to remove sunburn, chloasma and wrinkles, and has remarkable effects on acne and pore contraction. In rural areas, many farmers have acne on their faces, which is to apply tea oil for relief treatment.

Five.

Camellia oil can also sterilize and diminish inflammation. Tea oil has antibacterial, antiviral and microbicidal effects, and can be used to treat tinea and scabies. Swallowing a little tea oil when you have a sore throat can play a good role in diminishing inflammation and clearing fire, and can relieve throat discomfort.

Six.

Camellia oil can also protect hair. In rural areas, many people used to have no shampoo at home, but when washing their hair, they can add a little tea oil to warm water. In addition, massaging the head with tea oil can make the hair and scalp absorb nutrients and prevent hair loss.

Matters needing attention

Note: If you want to buy camellia oil, you must be careful of many fake camellia oil in the market and try to buy it in a rural press factory to be more authentic and pure.

Camellia oil contains VE and antioxidant factors, which can slow down skin aging and make people youthful and dazzling. The use method is also very convenient. You only need to gently apply camellia on the face wrinkles or eyes prone to wrinkles, and keep it for a long time, so as to remove fine lines, weaken deep lines and prevent wrinkles. At the same time, camellia oil can also be used as a mask, which can play a good whitening effect. Camellia oil contains a variety of unsaturated fatty acids. In fact, unsaturated fatty acids are called "cosmetic acids". Supplementing unsaturated fatty acids in a proper amount every day can nourish the skin, maintain and care the hair, and make the skin delicate and shiny, and the hair black and shiny. Edible oil with general weight loss effect will turn into fat before being digested in the body, which will gather in internal organs and subcutaneous tissues and easily cause puffiness or other diseases. However, camellia oil will not. The key point is that due to the high content of unsaturated fatty acids, the digestibility reaches 97%, so regular consumption will not cause fat accumulation, and it can also help pregnant women recover their body shape.

Camellia oil is known as the king of oil, which is a unique skill of beauty+medicine+food.

Camellia oil can be used for cooking, steaming and eating. It can moisten intestines, clear stomach, detoxify and sterilize. It has good curative effect on hypertension, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, obesity and other diseases. At the same time, it has the effect of beauty and skin care, and its digestion and absorption rate are very high, making it the king of oil!
