Frying Suggestions....Grapeseed oil!

[Havin' Fun]

I was playing around with some different oils this past month and really love the high smoking point of Grapeseed oil and it's flavor!

Higher smoking point than olive oil and better for you!

Give it a try.

Grapeseed? Never heard of it. Where would one get such a strange oil?

I'm thinking he means Rapeseed oil. Rapeseed is just another name for Canola oil. Rapeseed Oil has been around forever. About 20 years ago the Canadians decided to rename it Canola oil (Canada Oil) to get rid of the negative connotations that go along with having a product with the word Rape in it.

Grapeseed Oil

Grapeseed oil has been produced and enjoyed for it's health benefits in Europe for centuries. It is less saturated fat than olive oil and easily digested. Grapeseed Oil is a good source of Vitamin E Alpha, an important antioxidant. This is 50 times more potent as an antioxidant than Vitamin C or E. Antioxidants called Procyandanians (used in the supplement Pycnogenol) extracted from grapeseeds have been shown to have positive health benefits. Procyandanians have been successfully used to help vascular disease. Known for allowing the flavor of fresh foods to come through, grapeseed oils light and delicate flavor is a natural choice for sautéing, baking and frying.

Correct. Grapeseed oil. I will probably not buy Olive oil again. However I will only use grapeseed for frying or sauteeing as it's pretty expensive to be throwing into the fry'er.

Good info Silver Lake.
