Sunflower oil and olive oil. Cooking on virgin olive oil is harder, and sunflower oil if not deodorated has really nice smell.
As for health benefits, olive oil is 2-3 times more expensive, so people who can afford more expensive oil usually can afford healthier diet in general, I think.
Thanks!
Can you explain what you mean by cooking with virgin olive oil is harder?
Yea, virgin olive oil has distinct flavor and low smoke point, as in so low that you can't actually fry anything on it without oil burning. So you buy second pressed oil (don't know how it is called in english) it has higher smoke point and less flavor, often you can find mixed oil where olive oil is mixed with sunflower or another neutral oil that can be used for frying. Also it's much cheaper.
Thank you!
