Well, olive oil is good for salad dressing, should not be used for deep frying. Sunflower,coconut and mustard oil have a good heat endurance and can be used for deep frying. So the choice of oil must be customised for the food you are looking at cooking. Nutiva (organic) coconut oil can be used for cooking.
