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.
Most canola oil is highly refinedâwhich means that it doesnât have many antioxidants like olive oil does but it does have a relatively long shelf life. Monounsaturated: 62% | Polyunsaturated: 31% | Saturated: 7%. Best uses: Extremely versatile, use canola oil for sautÃ©ing, roasting, baking and making salad dressings. If you want to enjoy the heart-healthy benefits of olive oil but find its flavor too strong, try using a 1:1 ratio of canola and extra-virgin olive oil when making salad dressing.
