The nutritional value of tea oil
2025-07-11 04:09:36
Tea oil, a nutritious and delicious natural oil, is primarily composed of oleic acid, which makes up about 83% of its content. This high concentration of monounsaturated fat makes it easily absorbable by the body and comparable to expensive foreign olive oil, earning it the nickname "Oriental Olive Oil." In Japan, it's even referred to as "Longevity Oil." With a pure taste, excellent cooking gloss, and no strong odor when used in salads or frying, tea oil stands out as one of the most beneficial edible oils for health.
Rich in natural antioxidants like vitamin E and D, tea oil helps nourish the body, remove harmful substances, and slow down cellular aging. Its low linolenic acid content also contributes to stability, making it easy to store without spoiling quickly.
Tea oil is considered a rare woody vegetable oil, with a higher level of unsaturated fatty acids than common oils such as peanut or soybean oil—up to 90%. These healthy fats are easily absorbed by the body and can enhance the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and essential minerals like calcium, iron, and zinc. The high unsaturated fatty acid content also helps reduce blood cholesterol levels, offering protection against arteriosclerosis, heart disease, and hypertension.
Importantly, tea oil is free from aflatoxins, which are known carcinogens. Regular consumption has been shown to support heart and vascular health, especially for the elderly. According to the U.S. National Medical Center, tea oil may help lower cholesterol and even offer some cancer-fighting benefits, reinforcing its reputation as "Longevity Oil."
Unsaturated fatty acids are often called "beauty acids," and tea oil contains the highest concentration of them among all edible oils. Scientific studies suggest that daily intake of these healthy fats can help keep the skin moisturized and hair black and strong.
