Grapeseed Oil is one of nature's healthiest treasures.
It maintains its healthy properties at the highest cooking temperature
(up to 485 degrees F). After the wine is made, grape seeds are collected
from the fermenters. Expeller pressing produces light, delicate, incredibly
healthful oil. Cholesterol-free, grapeseed oil actually helps reduce
accumulated cholesterol in the body and improves circulation. It is
simply the best fat there is.
With high levels of linoleic acid, an essential fatty acid (Omega 6
acids), reportedly, grapeseed oil is 50-times more potent an antioxidant
than Vitamin C & E. It's great for cooking, with the highest smoke-point
of any oil. All natural ingredients are used in the flavored oils, which
stay true and healthy especially at the high heats of stir-fry or sauté.
Even used sparingly the results are wonderful.
