RBDW Rapeseed/Canola Oil

RBD Rapeseed/Canola Oil

Rapeseed oil, also known as Canola, has a mild flavour and can be produced in either liquid or in solid form. 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 level

Application:

Rapeseed and canola oil are commonly used for pan-frying and deep-frying due to a high smoke point. Rapeseed oil can be used by itself as a salad or cooking oil, or blended with other vegetable oils in the manufacture of margarine, mayonnaise, shortenings, cooking and salad oils.
