Rina Vegetable Cooking Oil 5L

Rina Vegetable Cooking Oil 5L is a household staple across Kenyan kitchens, known for its purity, nutritional value, and consistent performance. Extracted from high-quality soybeans and sunflowers, this double-refined oil undergoes rigorous processing to ensure clarity, low absorption, and long shelf life. It’s your go-to choice for frying, deep-frying, baking, and general sautéing.

Health Benefits

Rina is cholesterol-free and enriched with Vitamin A, a vital nutrient that supports vision, immunity, and skin health. Its naturally occurring Omega 6 fatty acids promote cardiovascular well-being when used as part of a balanced diet. Unlike some heavier oils, Rina’s light consistency reduces oil retention in food, helping maintain nutritional integrity and taste.

Usage Versatility

Whether you’re deep-frying samosas, making chapatis, or preparing stews, Rina Vegetable Oil holds up under high heat, ensuring meals cook evenly without burning. It has a neutral flavour, so it enhances rather than overpowers your food. Its wide-mouth cap also makes pouring easy and mess-free, especially for bulk use in homes or small food businesses.

Tasting Notes

• Aroma: Mild and clean with no overpowering scent
• Flavour: Neutral, allowing your food’s true taste to shine
• Texture: Smooth, light, and non-greasy on the palate
