However, it is not a very dietetic and healthy option that we say, since it consists of immersing the food in abundant oil, at a temperature that can reach 180ยบ C.

In this way the food tends to greasy excess, causing a difficult digestion, and having a very negative impact on our health, although in a certain sense we do not realize it.
