Because of its high level of mono-unsaturated fats, and its rich source of vitamin E, Rapeseed oil is becoming increasingly popular.It’s about 7% lower in saturated fats than any other oil, and benefits from more mono-unsaturated fats, which have shown to reduce blood cholesterol levels. Neutrally flavoured, this oil is especially suitable for cooking, frying and salad dressings.Rapeseed oil, also known as Canola, has a mild flavour and can be produced in either liquid or in solid form.
