Why Rapeseed Oil is the healthier tastiest choice
Rapeseed Oil has the lowest saturated fat of any culinary oil and less than half that of Olive Oil. In recent years Mediterranean produced Olive Oil has tended to overtake sunflower and vegetable oils in popularity and has been perceived as a healthy alternative. However Rapeseed Oil in fact naturally replicates a diet of low saturated fat found in olive oil and good essential omega oils normally obtained from fish.
The health conscious French nation also discovered Rapeseed Oil generations ago and the product is commonplace on supermarket shelves in that country.
The British it seems may well have shied away from embracing Rapeseed Oil as a serious healthy alternative to other cooking oils due to the unfortunate name. Despite ongoing campaigning and media coverage about the dangers of overeating, we still as a nation consume too much saturated fat which can lead to symptoms such as obesity, high cholesterol, diabetes and heart disease. Rapeseed Oil has been shown to help reduce such symptoms when it is combined into a balanced diet.
