Do foreigners eat peanut oil?

The question you asked is actually not retarded at all, and it is not easy to make it clear. Ha ha!

Westerners' consumption of oil, especially animal fat, is much higher than that of orientals. All kinds of livestock and poultry meat products, fried food, butter and margarine are the protagonists at the dinner table. There are also plant edible oils in Europe and America. But they are all refined. Mostly used for cold salad. Cooking and frying use animal edible oil (such as butter, butter, etc.). ) or shortening (extracted from vegetable oil such as rapeseed oil)

ps:

In Europe and America, edible oil and frying oil belong to the range of shortening with different physical properties, while salad oil refers to liquid cold oil.

The word salad oil originated from the west, as the name suggests, it is a special oil for salad; Salad is a cold salad with raw vegetables as the main ingredient, supplemented by various condiments. In order to increase nutrition, you need to apply an oily coating, which is salad oil. In order to maintain the inherent color and taste of vegetables, this oil needs to be colorless and tasteless; And cold dishes often need to be refrigerated after they are cooked. Therefore, turbidity cannot occur at low temperature, and it must be kept in a transparent liquid state at 4.4℃. Therefore, salad oil needs to remove non-triglyceride components from plant crude oil as much as possible, and generally it can only be vegetable oil.

Edible oil, also known as cooking oil, can be vegetable oil or animal oil (vegetable oil here). Edible oil should be liquid at room temperature, with good fluidity, rich in nutrients inherent in oil and no unpleasant smell. Technically, it's not the same as frying oil. The main feature of frying oil is that it is not easy to deteriorate at high temperature for a long time (160℃- 180℃), that is, it does not undergo thermal oxidation and hydrolysis.

Westerners use butter in cooking. Vegetable oil is mostly used for cold salad or direct consumption.
