GRAPESEED OIL - Info

[Guest guest]

GRAPESEED OIL is a polyunsaturated oil that is rich in linoleic acid. At 68 – 76%, it contains the highest amounts of linoleic acid among any oil or food source. Linoleic is an essential fatty acid, meaning that we must consume it in foods since our bodies cannot produce it and is a necessity for many functions that maintain normal tissues throughout our body. Linoleic acid is also the most potent fatty acid at reducing blood cholesterol levels.

Reductions in blood cholesterol levels of over 20% can be achieved by switching from saturated fats to linoleic acid rich fats.

Whether as a salad dressing, for baking, grilling, or frying, GRAPE SEEDOIL retains the original flavor of foods. It imparts no after-taste, permitting the full flavor of the dish to be appreciated. As a great gourmet alternative to olive oil, GRAPE SEED OIL serves to enhance the natural flavor of foods & reveals a subtle pleasant buttery flavor.

It is one of the most stable cooking oils known. The first thing you notice when cooking with GRAPESEED oil is that it will not smoke, burn or splatter like other cooking oils. This is due to its high smoke point, approximately 320° F. One can cook a meal and amazingly start preparing another dish in the same oil without deterioration or "off flavors". GRAPE SEED OIL is excellent for frying because of its remarkable heat stability and the desirable butter taste imparted to fried foods.

Potentially hazardous breakdown products from excessive frying of foods in oil are avoided with GRAPE SEED OIL. The unique properties of GRAPE SEED OIL, based on its fatty acid composition and antioxidant content, make it an extremely stable, durable oil.

Normal cooking usually requires only about one half to one third quantity of GRAPE SEED OIL to achieve the same results as with most other cooking oils. This spares the amount of oil needed in foods and makes using GRAPESEED OIL more economical than ordinary cooking oils. Importantly, the consumption of total oil (fats) in meals is reduced.
