Rapeseed Oil — Nutrition & Culinary Profile
Rapeseed oil, often known as canola oil when bred for low erucic acid, is a highly versatile cooking fat with a neutral flavor and light texture. Its high smoke point makes it excellent for frying, sautéing, and baking without overpowering the dish's natural taste. It is also prized for its smooth consistency in salad dressings and emulsions.
