Wesson oil

Wesson Oil is a well-known brand of refined vegetable oil, widely used in cooking for its neutral flavor and high heat resistance. This oil is primarily made from a blend of corn, soybean, and sunflower oils, which gives it versatility for frying, sautéing, and baking, without altering the natural flavor of foods.

Originating in the United States, Wesson oil stands out in the market for its quality and purity, making it an ideal ally for recipes that require light frying or for preparing dressings and sauces.

Among its properties, it is low in saturated fats and contains polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids, which contribute to a balanced diet. Furthermore, due to its high smoke point, it is suitable for cooking at high temperatures without generating harmful compounds.

In the Latin American context, although the term "Wesson oil" is recognized by the brand, in everyday cooking synonyms such as vegetable oil, frying oil, or simply neutral oil are commonly used, terms that indicate a light-flavored and versatile oil similar to Wesson oil.
