Hi mummies, what oil do you use to cook when preparing your child's lunches? Heard about VCO but not too sure if it has a weird smell or taste, and whether it can be used to fry food....

I just use extra virgin olive oil. I'm not too particular about the kind of oil I use as long as it is new (not reused). You can find a good write-up about VCO here. It's recommended due to a high saturated fat content as well as containing lauric acid which is the anti-bacterial and anti-viral agent in breastmilk. http://www.organicandwholesale.com/organic-extra-virgin-coconut-oil-vco/
