Canola oil is generally considered a âhealthyâ oil because it is very low in saturated fat (7%). Like olive oil it is high in monounsaturated fat (63%). In addition, canola oil contains significant amounts of phytosterols (about 0.9% by weight) that reduce the absorption of cholesterol into the body.
You've probably heard that canola oil is great for cooking at high heat in the kitchen. Unless it's cold-pressed, canola oil tastes very neutral and has a light texture, which makes it ideal for things like stir-frying, baking, and deep-frying. People often get confused about the difference between canola oil and rapeseed oil. These two plant-based cooking oils, however, are different.
