Questions about Grapeseed oil
Can you use grapeseed oil for frying?
Yes. Refined grapeseed oil has a high smoke point, around 215–230 °C, so it works well for searing, shallow-frying and roasting; avoid letting it smoke, which gives the oil a burnt flavour.
Is grapeseed oil good for salad dressing?
Yes: its mild flavour lets vinegar, lemon, mustard and herbs come through. Whisk it into a vinaigrette, or drizzle it over tomatoes and mozzarella.
Does grapeseed oil need to be refrigerated?
Keep it tightly closed in a cool, dark cupboard, away from the oven and direct sunlight. Refrigeration is not usually needed; discard it if it smells stale, waxy or like old paint.
What is grapeseed oil made from?
It is pressed or extracted from the small seeds left after grapes are made into wine or juice. Much of the oil sold for cooking is refined, which gives it a pale colour and neutral taste.
Can you substitute grapeseed oil for olive oil?
Usually, yes: use it in the same amount when baking, frying or making a dressing. It has a more neutral taste, so it will not give a dish the fruity, peppery flavour of extra-virgin olive oil.
Is grapeseed oil high in vitamin E?
Yes. A tablespoon provides 3.9 mg of vitamin E, making grapeseed oil a concentrated source; it is still best used in modest amounts, as oils are energy-dense.
Is grapeseed oil high in vitamin K?
Yes. A tablespoon provides 25.7 µg of vitamin K. Its amount can vary between products, but grapeseed oil is a notable source.
