Grapeseed Oil: The facts!

So what is grapeseed oil? Grapeseed Oil (GSO) is made from grape seeds after wine production. This makes it environmentally sound and requires no new farmland or water to be produced. It's perfect for sauteing, baking and frying. Works great as a salad dressing or as a marinade or in a basting sauce.

And it's prefect for frying. With a 419 degree flash point it has one of the highest flash points of all oils. And it's mild taste won't overpower the flavors of your food.

So why is Grapeseed Oil a better choice for me and my family?
Unlike most oils that are produced using a chemical extraction process our grapeseed oil is expeller pressed. Expeller pressed uses heat to extract oils. But it's not added heat, the heat comes from the natural hardness of the nuts and seeds. So the harder the nut/seed the more heat that is produced due to friction.

The chemical method uses n-Hexane which is a chemical made from crude oil. (Yuck right?) And frankly it's pretty bad stuff. Besides the fact that its highly flammable and its vapors can be explosive; do you really want to be feeding your family something that has been exposed to a product that is using in make cleaning solvents?  How about something that makes the special glues for the roofing, shoe and leather industries? Or in binding books, making tires & baseballs. As well as those quick drying glues and cements. We live in a world that relies on

• Good source of Vit E Alpha (an important anti-oxidant-4.3 mg/serving)
• Highest concentration of poly (76%) unsaturated acid of any oil
• Helps the body produce High Density Lipoprotein (HDL)
