Mary Enigs Triple Oil Blend Recipe

Mary Enigs Triple Oil Blend is a wonderful blend of three healthy oils that can be used in salad dressings or as a cooking oil.  This oil blend contains an equal balance of Omega 3, 6, and 9.  When this oil is used when cooking, flavors come through beautifully, and the blend does not burn as easily as pure coconut oil.  When melted coconut oil is combined with other oils, it will stay liquid.

In salads, this Mary Enigs Triple Oil Blend provides all the benefits of coconut oil and does not have the strong taste of olive oil.  In mayonnaise, it provides firmness when chilled.

Triple Oil Blend is by Dr. Mary Enig, PhD, a nutritionist and lipid specialist, and one of the founders of the Weston A. Price Foundation for Wise Traditions in Food, Farming, and the Healing Arts.  Check out Eat Fat, Lose Fat: The Healthy Alternative to Trans Fats, by Mary Enig and Sally Fallon.

    Thank you for the informative and useful tips. I plan to prepare two-week batches of blended olive oil and coconut oil (50:50). My only concern is whether you have experienced any issues with long-term storage. Do blended oils alter their chemical composition over time so they degrade more quickly than pure oils that were never blended? How long is their shelf life? Would be glad to hear your experience and insights.
