In every kitchen, the choice of cooking oil plays a vital role—not only in how food tastes, but also in how it affects our health. At Rabi Foods, our “Healthier Cooking” oils are developed with scientific precision, focusing on the balance of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). These essential fats are known for supporting heart health, improving cholesterol balance, and providing better stability during cooking. Let’s dive into the science behind these healthier fats and discover why Rabi’s oils are a smart choice for modern households.
Cooking oils are made up of different types of fats, each with unique properties and health impacts. To understand why MUFAs and PUFAs matter, it helps to know the main types of fats found in oils:
These fats have no double bonds in their chemical structure, making them solid at room temperature. While they are stable during cooking, excessive intake has been linked to higher LDL (“bad”) cholesterol levels and increased risk of heart disease.
MUFAs contain one double bond in their structure, which gives them both flexibility and stability. They remain liquid at room temperature and are more resistant to heat than PUFAs. MUFAs are considered heart-healthy fats that help maintain good cholesterol levels and improve overall metabolic health.
PUFAs have more than one double bond, making them more fluid and essential for the body. They include omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids—both crucial for brain function, cell structure, and hormone production. However, because they’re more reactive, they can oxidize more easily under high heat if not properly balanced.
The right oil must strike a balance between these fats, providing health benefits without compromising on cooking performance.
Both MUFAs and PUFAs are forms of unsaturated fats, which are considered “good fats.” When used to replace saturated or trans fats, they help improve heart health and support several vital body functions.
While MUFAs and PUFAs both offer health benefits, maintaining a balanced ratio is essential. Excessive PUFAs, especially omega-6, can promote oxidative stress and inflammation if not complemented with sufficient omega-3 and MUFA intake. On the other hand, using oils too rich in PUFAs for deep-frying or high-heat cooking can lead to oxidation, forming compounds that affect both taste and health.
That’s why Rabi’s “Healthier Cooking” oils are scientifically formulated to combine the heat stability of MUFAs with the nutritional richness of PUFAs—ensuring both performance and wellness in everyday cooking.
At Rabi Foods, every oil blend is developed with a deep understanding of nutritional science and everyday cooking needs. Here’s how our oils stand apart:
Our oils are carefully refined to include a high percentage of MUFAs, ensuring stability at high temperatures while preserving heart-healthy properties. This makes them perfect for Pakistani-style cooking—whether you’re frying, sautéing, or preparing traditional dishes.
Rabi oils include a balanced amount of PUFAs, offering essential fatty acids without compromising heat resistance. This careful formulation allows you to enjoy omega-rich nutrition while minimizing oxidation during cooking.
Unlike some cooking oils that undergo partial hydrogenation (producing harmful trans fats), Rabi’s healthier cooking oils maintain their natural unsaturated structure. This means less saturated fat, no trans fat, and better overall heart health.
Our oils are engineered to withstand high-heat cooking methods commonly used in Pakistani kitchens. The optimized MUFA-to-PUFA ratio helps reduce the risk of harmful compounds forming when oil is heated repeatedly.
Whether you’re frying parathas, making curries, or preparing light meals, Rabi’s healthier cooking oils deliver consistent results—crisp texture, appealing aroma, and a neutral taste that lets food shine.
