#12: Store-Bought Pie Crust

Pies are essential at family gatherings, but time constraints might tempt you to grab a store-bought crust. Beware, as store-bought crusts often harbor trans fats, harmful saturated fats, and preservatives such as BHA and BHT, which pose health risks.

Store-bought crusts could endanger your heart health by affecting the circulatory system. Crafting your pie crusts from scratch with healthier fats like olive oil or butter can mitigate these risks. The extra effort in making homemade crusts truly pays off.
