Nutritional composition of rapeseed oil
Rapeseed oil contains less saturated fat than other commonly used cooking oils and fats e.g. approx. 50% less than olive oil. It is high in unsaturated fats, particularly mono-unsaturated. Replacing saturated fats with some unsaturated fats such as rapeseed oil in the diet has been shown to reduce cholesterol levels in the blood, which may help to lower the risk of heart disease. Rapeseed oil is also a rich source of vitamin E. But remember, all types of fat are high in energy so should be used sparingly.
