Good Fats Good for Restaurants

Fats are key to cooking, but restaurant chefs and operators now increasingly understand that fats and oils must provide health as well as flavour, reports QSR magazine. “People need to realize that there are a lot of health benefits with healthy fats,” says Dr. Penny Kris-Etherton, distinguished professor of nutrition at Pennsylvania State University. Indeed, chefs are starting to craft their menus with that in mind, according to QSR. The feature article discusses types of fat and calls out canola oil for both its nutritional and culinary advantages, such as its mild flavour. “You can taste canola oil, and you don’t taste anything,” says one chef.
