Sonoma Farm Explains How Grapeseed Oil Has Replaced the Traditional Olive Oil

If you are like most mothers, you possibly have 2 kinds of oil in your kitchen cabinet: canola oil and olive oil. Whether you are thinking to employ oil in your salad, to stir-fry or for infusing meat, get out of your culinary comfort zone and give grapeseed oil a try. This healthy oil provides a range of health advantages and a gentle, neutral flavor; it is also perfect for most kinds of cooking.

“Grapeseed oil was primarily a byproduct of wine making, with oil separated from the small seeds of grapes following they were squeezed. A majority of grapeseed oil varieties are imported from Europe – mainly Switzerland, Italy and France – but are also accessible from some some United Sate manufacturers. Not just grapeseed oil has replaced olive oil in a range of recipes, but it also provide provides several health advantages rooting from grapeseed oil’s higher level of omega 6, omega 9 and omega fatty acids, and also vitamin C, E and beta-carotene” said a spokesperson of Sonoma Farm.

Though grapeseed oil comes with a little grape flavoring, most varieties possess a neutral flavor that’s non-nutty & non greasy. Unlike other oils, grapeseed oil will not turn murky if it is chilled. Due to its gentle, neutral flavor, grapeseed oil is perfect for use in tossed salads, and can replace olive oil easily.

Grapeseed oil is also perfect for pan-frying due to its high smoke point. Since grapeseed oil does not start to smoke until 420 degrees Fahrenheit, it can be used safely to cook at extreme temperatures. Peanut oil and virgin olive oil also possess high smoke constituent, so grapeseed oil can be a good replacement for both of these oils when frying. The light and wholesome flavor of grapeseed oil, combined with its high smoke constituent, makes it perfect for sauteing & stir-frying.

“Grapeseed oil is also productive in helping maintain meat’s moisture during cooking. Simply put in your preferred seasonings – or a salad dressing blend – to spoon of butter grapeseed oil and spread on whatever slice of meat your think to boil, fry or grill. Its neutral taste enables you to employ it on a wide range of meat & poultry, encompassing roasts, streaks, fish, pork, turkey or chicken” the spokesperson said further.
