Canola Oil

Posted on 08. Sep, 2009 by Ellen in Canola Recipes

Canola oil contains the least saturated fat of all common vegetable oils. It is free of trans fats and cholesterol and has a good balance of healthy monounsaturated fats. The healthy fat content of canola oil may help to lower ‘bad’ cholesterol and reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. Canola oil is also high in omega-3 fatty acids, which are important for heart, skin and brain health.

Tip: Canola oil is a versatile oil that can be used in baking, frying, and salad dressings.
