Understanding smoke points, dosha compatibility, and when to use sesame or rice bran oil helps you choose the right cooking fat.

Why Cooking Fat Matters

Oils influence digestion, energy, and even mood. Ayurveda evaluates oils not just by nutrition but by their "guna"—heaviness, warmth, stability, and effect on doshas.

Sesame + Rice Bran: A Smart Daily Choice

  • Sesame: Warm, nourishing, ideal for Vata.
  • Rice Bran: Light, stable, supports Kapha moderation.

This blend is perfect for moderate-heat cooking and daily meals.

Smoke Point Basics

Overheating oils leads to breakdown. Always cook below smoke point to preserve freshness and avoid harmful compounds.
