Nigerians have been urged to embrace soya oil in their cooking for its health benefits, as it does not contain saturated fats, which are considered bad fat that can raise cholesterol levels and increase the risk of heart disease.
According to a statement by Tropical General Investments (TGI) Group, consumers should be more interested in cooking oils that not only provide excellent taste but are packed with health benefits.
“A notable oil in this regard is Golden Terra Soya Oil, renowned for its five times more Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFA), Omega-3 and Omega 6 fatty acids.
“PUFA are “good fats” unlike saturated fats, which are generally viewed as “bad fat” because they can raise your cholesterol levels which increases the risk of heart disease.”

It added that comparatively, while other brands positioned as healthy oils on the market shelf have PUFA content of around 10 per cent, Golden Terra Soya Oil contains five times more PUFA, making it the healthy choice for cooking.
The Chief Marketing Officer, TGI Group, Probal Bhattacharya, said Golden Terra Soya Oil is not only prioritizing health for a wide spectrum of consumers across Nigeria with its health credentials but also offering affordable and convenient choices for all.
