Why grilling and Why grill with coconut oil?

Coconut oil has a higher smoke point than olive oil. It is not only great for grilling, but also good for broiling, sautéing and stir frying. It is a more natural choice than vegetable oil, and it offers multiple health benefits.

Even though coconut oil and other alternatives have similar calorie and total fat content, coconut oil is high in medium-chain triglycerides that the body can metabolize quickly and use for energy.

In regard to grilling, there are health benefits to cooking your food on the grill versus on the stove or oven. 

Eat Less Fat

When you grill, you eat less fat because the excess drips off the grates. On the grill, the fat cooks off.  

Nutritionally Advantage

Vegetables retain more of their vitamins and minerals when they’re grilled. This is especially true with veggies that have a low water content. 

Wrapping in tin foil or just placing on top of your grill, cooking your veggies in this manner is nutritionally advantageous than boiling or frying. 

When you toss a slab of meat over the fire, it actually preserves more riboflavin and thiamine. Both of these nutrients play a vital role in a healthy diet, as well as have many health benefits associated with each of them. 

Because the grill locks in more moisture, you’ll be less inclined to reach for the butter or other condiments to jazz up your food. Not only does that means you eat fewer calories, but you put less unhealthy stuff in your body. 

However, some doctors said charcoal used during the grilling process can expose you and your food to cancer-causing chemicals. And so if you want to use charcoal to cook, it is recommended that you do not overcook the meat and keep it out of the smoke as much as possible. Some doctors recommend using a gas grill instead. In addition, marinating the meat, is believed to help eliminate these cancer-causing chemicals by up to 99%.
