Rapeseed Oil

We have Griffin Farm Extra Virgin Rapeseed Oil on the market most weeks, email if you want to make sure that there will be some available.

The rapeseed oil is from the family farm in Toddington, Bedfordshire.  This extra virgin cold pressed oil has 10 times the amount of Omega 3 oil and half the fat of Olive oil. It is very versatile and has a slight nutty flavour and high burn point.

Here is a website with lots of information about the oil, including recipes.  

The oil is perfect as a salad dressing, and can be used in most of the ways that you would use other oils.

Here are some of the benefits:

• Rapeseed oil has a favourable balance of 'good' and 'bad' fats:
• Less unhealthy saturated fat than all other cooking fats and oils - e.g. 50% less than olive oil
• High in the healthy mono and polyunsaturated fats omega 3, 6 and 9
• It is also a rich source of vitamin E, a natural antioxidant
• And contains plant sterols - which may contribute to the cholesterol lowering properties of rapeseed oil
