Toiduõliks

Toiduõliks is a term used in Estonia to refer to cooking oil. It encompasses a wide variety of edible oils used for culinary purposes, including frying, baking, and dressing. Common types of toiduõliks found in Estonian kitchens include sunflower oil, rapeseed oil, olive oil, and sometimes butter or lard. The choice of toiduõliks often depends on the specific dish being prepared and personal preference. For instance, neutral-flavored oils like sunflower or rapeseed are frequently used for general cooking, while olive oil might be preferred for salads or Mediterranean-inspired dishes. The availability and affordability of different toiduõliks also play a role in their widespread use. Estonia, like many other countries, has seen a trend towards healthier cooking oils, with an increased interest in oils rich in unsaturated fats.
