Olive oil is high in monounsaturated fat, which helps to decrease inflammation in the body and is high in antioxidants. It is a heart-healthy fat that can be used to roast, fry or sauté. Overall, olive oil is considered a healthy fat to include in your diet, but always be sure to consult with your doctor or dietician to see what works best for your lifestyle and health.


Canola oil is a vegetable-based oil that is low in saturated fat, but high in monounsaturated fat. It also contains omega-6 fats which are important to perform certain functions in your body.

There is a variety of different types of vinegar to choose from. Distilled white vinegar is great for pickling, baking and poaching eggs. White wine vinegar is a great choice for brining, dressings, marinades, sauces and more! Red wine serves the same purpose as white wine vinegar in many ways. It is used for dressings, sauces and marinades. However, it is typically not preferred for pickling because of its red color and potential to stain. Apple cider vinegar is thought to have health benefits and can also be used for pickling and in marinades and sauces. You can get creative and pickle fruits and veggies at home that make a tangy and flavorful addition to burgers, grain bowls, charcuterie boards and more.


Unfiltered apple cider contains small amounts of probiotics that are thought to be good for gut health.

Vinegar is high in acid and a natural preservative on its own so it won’t go bad like fresh meat or produce. However, the quality of the vinegar can degrade over time.

The time frame can vary based on the type of vinegar, but it is typically recommended to consume within one to three years after opening.
