Cooking with grapeseed oil offers many benefits over traditional cooking oils such as olive oil and canola oil. While relatively new to the US market, this oil has been enjoyed for its health benefits in Europe for many years. Known for health-supporting benefits, superior cooking properties and versatility, it is an excellent choice for all-around cooking needs.
Grapeseed oil is perhaps the most versatile cooking oil available. With a light, wonderful flavor that could be described as "slightly nutty" in character, this oil blends well with more foods than most other oils. It is excellent as a dipping oil, delicious on pastas, perfect for sauteing and stir-frying, and can be used as the primary oil in salad dressings and marinades. It is often used as a base for infusing with garlic and other herbs and spices. Excellent emulsification properties make it ideal for whipping mayonnaise and creamy dressings that you do not want to separate when chilled. The light, subtle flavor will complement any dish without adding an overpowering flavor. It has long been a favorite of gourmet chefs who appreciate its light, nutty, and versatile character.
Grapeseed oil is a healthy food. It is low in saturated fat and high in polyunsaturated fat (Omega-6) which is known to have significant effect in raising good (HDL) cholesterol and lowering bad (LDL) cholesterol. Omega 6, also known as linoleic acid, is not manufactured by the body and must be consumed in our food or through supplementation.
Grapeseed oil is the cooking oil of choice for frying, blending, creating, and complementing a host of different foods. No other oil combines flavor, versatility, and health benefits in such a delightful way. It is pressed from grape seeds after wine production. It is environmentally friendly because it requires no new farmland or water to produce. Try it with your favorite dishes - you will soon discover why it is enjoying a rapid rise in popularity in North America.
